When it comes to taxes, both Enrolled Agents (EAs) and Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) can definitely help you out and are interchangeable.

I recommend AirDNA subscription for picking and evaluating both markets and individual properties, a little pricy, but if you are taking the investing seriously and with a long-time horizon, definitely worth it in my opinion

I'm always looking for some automation tools (I would be happy with basics like email management), but I definitely needed some resources to better understand it all.

Quote from @Charlie MacPherson: They seem like the textbook definition of time wasters and as an agent, time is your most precious resource.Unless they want to pay you a strong hourly rate for submitting - and let's call them what they are - garbage offers, tell them to lose your number.I am very tempted.

It definitely took more than planned to get started.

The forums are great but tax pros here don't know all the ins and outs of your specific situation so it's hard to give definitive answers.Do the house hack though!

Thank you for that AND the W/D are definitely going to be shared by two units so that is not an option here.

Also, I would definitely read that book by David Greene!

If I were you (and you meet the items listed above), I would definitely still move forward with licensing since you already have the property.

I definitely recommend that you seek out a Certified Cost Segregation Professional so that you are confident in the quality of the work performed and the deliverables produced.
