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.

However, sometimes investing is more than just the financial return.  

.- Everyone's situation and goals are different but I would assume there are a few quality markets within an hour of where you are located in Florida that would check a lot of your boxes. 

I don’t have the financial IQ yet as Kiyosaki would say. 

Consider starting with a few lower-cost flips with a smaller loan-to-value ratio to reduce financial strain.Market Research: Sacramento can be volatile, so I’d recommend keeping a pulse on local trends—particularly in the neighborhoods that have potential for growth but haven’t quite hit their peak yet.

I bought the property from a wholesaler that was working with the agents on behalf of out of state family members of the owner who had passed away if I remember the situation correctly.

It's a townhouse in Ohio, and as per the estimated financials, I could be looking at $400 per month in cashflow.Problem is...

@Adedayo Adetunji understand your frustration with the situation!

When I have a situation like this, I give them a written notice to accept the property in its current condition or get out.

@Kris Lou Be careful with agents as 95%+ of them really only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions.We don't do biz in Indianapolis, so this is unbiased info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
