My local realtor obtained information from the PM about the property’s income for 2024, along with an estimate of monthly expenses the owner is responsible for.

It was my first ever purchase and I focused on a obtaining a property in the Scarsdale School District.

If you tell them their credit score is too low (or some other reason) and somehow you obtained information that is inaccurate, then there is the potential to cause a legal problem. 

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

The date you are able to take depreciation is when the property is ready for renting (i.e. advertising for rent or obtaining a certificate of occupancy).

(recommended by Wagner) to try and obtain deposits back?

On the other hand, many landlords were able to obtain low mortgage rates during the historically low interest rate environment during the Pandemic, allowing them to offer a much more attractive housing cost to renters.

Lastly, I am extremely open to working with investors, or obtaining private funds as well. 

Question for any and all.. we have had trouble finding a real estate investor friendly CPA, one that proactively wants to help us learn and obtain all the tax rewards with real estate. 

Obtaining the type/quantity of land we would like to settle on at this point in our lives is not really feasible (i.e. several thousand acre cattle ranch).
