@Andrew Drasch As an entrepreneurial CPA, I believe that mastering your craft is essential, and that investing money strategically leads to greater financial success.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

Multifamily rentals are a great way to achieve financial freedom, and it sounds like you’re on the right path.My advice?

This is much lower than the costs associated with refinancing.Benefits of Mortgage RecastingLower Monthly Payments: The most immediate benefit is a reduced monthly payment, which can free up cash for other financial goals.Save on Interest: By reducing your principal balance, you’ll pay less interest over the life of the loan, potentially saving thousands of dollars.No Credit Check or Appraisal: Unlike refinancing, recasting doesn’t require a credit check, income verification, or home appraisal, making it a quicker and simpler process.Keep Your Current Interest Rate: If you have a favorable interest rate on your current loan, recasting allows you to maintain it while still lowering your payments.Drawbacks of Mortgage RecastingRequires a Lump Sum: Not everyone has the cash on hand to make a significant lump sum payment, which can make recasting inaccessible for some homeowners.Doesn’t Shorten Loan Term: While your monthly payments are lower, recasting doesn’t reduce the length of your loan.

You Can Only Have 35 Non-Accredited InvestorsRule 506(b) allows an unlimited number of accredited investors but restricts you to only 35 non-accredited investors.However, there’s a catch:Non-accredited investors must be financially sophisticated.They must have enough experience to evaluate the investment risks.From the SEC:“Securities may not be sold to more than 35 non-accredited investors… [who] must meet the legal standard of having sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.”If you’re planning to include non-accredited investors, make sure they qualify—or you could be violating SEC rules.3.

Reverse 1031 Exchanges are more complicated and have higher costs, but can solve these problems. 

I may be able to replace Repuso for reviews so it may net out as equal dollars spent and solves for my number one complaint which is syncing pricing across all platforms (with added rules).  

While it may seem unfair to offer financial incentives to problematic tenants, sometimes it’s the quickest and least costly way to regain control of your property and move forward.Lastly, connect with local landlord associations or advocacy groups.

The rate might be .5% higher for the 30 year, but looking at it financially what if you took that $187/mo and invested it into the stock market at 7-9% returns?
