I've performed a few 1031's and had to pay initial fees.

The individual merely acts on behalf of an actual beneficialowner as the beneficial owner’s nominee, intermediary,custodian, OR agent.Note: Individuals who perform ordinary advisory or othercontractual services (such as tax professionals) likely qualify forthis exception.

I started looking in my area and am a beginner of real estate investment.Would you please tell me the reasons to have CPA vs a tax accountant.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

for me its just showing past performance.. and kicking the dirt..

I’d love to hear if your biggest home runs have been from: a) buying an existing STR, tweaking it with your own unique skill set and applying your experience-proven enhancements to be a top performing property, orb) converting a previously non-rental property into an STR?

No delays, no red tape, no custodian transaction fees each time you perform a transaction.  

My property is still under-performing."

Save a few properties and watch them on the rental market if you are looking to do LTRs.or If you are looking to do STR find local listings and watch those listings and check the booking availability week to see how they perform and how far out they get booked and the nightly cost.
