I currently have three rental properties all located near the local college and the refinery in the area. 

. # of times you talk with your CPA/tax planning (generally tax planning is going to cost more)It depends on the CPA, location, etc.

You forgot to put your location in your profile.

Look for mixed-use properties with a Main Street vibe or location.

Location?

Don't need a ton of pictures but I want to get a decent idea of the location and condition.So basically you dont want your customer to know it look dumpy until they show up.....I can understand the safety from people looking for vacant houses.... then anyone selling a house better take all of their outside pictures off their listing

As long as the location was in the path of progress, and the units themselves had already or the ability to add features like off street parking, in unit laundry, etc. 

For me, I've found that as I hone in on a location and an asset class, everything gets easier. 

The success rate will hinge largely on location, type of property, and cost of property.
