As far as checking your accountant's technical competence, you can use this old but still applicable questionnaire:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/792277-how-to...Other questions that you may want to ask are listed in this post:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/795929-questi...3.

@Ashish Acharya A big part of my post is highlighting how specific details in local regulations can make it increasingly challenging to operate short-term rentals, even in towns where they’re technically permitted.

Technically, Conventional allows 15% down but you end up incurring a hefty hit to your rate/points options when you put down less than 20%, which makes causes most people opt to put 20% down.

We had PM teams that ran, on average, at 2x staffing for sec8, and FT maintenance staff supplemented with PT and outside vendors.  

You also have setback restrictions which are based on height.That’s just some of technical parts of zoning.

After extensive technical review, your permit may be approved, but you might have to do inspections during the construction project.

We steer our clients away from houses that might technically have high rent but are in a stagnant or declining area.Real estate investments should be about long-term appreciation, not just a snapshot of today's cash flow.

-This technically isn't your problem.

They definitely took your premium, but when problems happen they look for technicalities in order not to be responsible. 

Can I refinance on a property that is not technically in my own name yet?
