Either way, the accountant can pull this easily from the closing statement or 1098 from your lender.It's really not as complicated as you think. 

If they are professional, they can explain this quickly and easily.

However, the Colorado Springs airport has been expanding and we occasionally fly out of COS now.   

@Danny RandolphYes, we look forward to assisting you in expanding your portfolio as well this year! 

We recently took a HUGE interest in the Wilmington, NC area and want to possibly expand into other areas such as Sevierville and Saranac Lake down the road a bit. 

Bonus: Find homes that can be easily divided into 2 units (e.g. main house upstairs with separate downstairs area including bedroom, bathoom, wet bar and separate entrance).

I like to have at least 30-40% equity meaning my LTV is 60-70% across my portfolio, this means I can easily sell without being underwater in just about any market.

Could you please expand on why it creates appraisal problems? 

I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation 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.

There can be a lot of details to this, and one can easily get lost in the details but pull-back and keep vision of the fundamentals as it really is rather simple.
