Whether you need a CPA with just three rentals depends on the complexity of your situation and your comfort level with DIY tax prep.If things are pretty straightforward, you might be fine with tax software for now.

If you want to look at total expenses over the years, you need to look at total income received as well with your potential sale price. 

I have a program nationwide that does NOT require GC to sign anything, only provide proof of 3 C/O's (certificate of occupancy) over the last year I.e. built received occupancy permission now unit is on market or habitable.  700+ FICO I can get you 80%LTC loan to cost on the project on ground up construction for 1-4 units. 

Especially if it was just in the fine print.

I like to look for board orders, excessive fines for weeds/grass, stop orders, and unsecured premises.

Umbrella policy is fine.

Soon I will receive some capital (as the outcome of my divorce).
