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 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.

Happy to connect as I am an accountant right down the road!

Holds you accountable to accomplish task and the group is a wealth of knowledge.

@Brittane Jenkins  A few other somewhat creative ways: 401k loan (if you're comfortable with that), margin account on your stock investments, seller financing for the downpayment (usually has to be done with a business or commercial loan for the remaining part of the loan).

@John Pipitone$4K per month x 9 months rented = $36,000 annually $3K per month x 12 months rented = $36,000 annually Make sure a MTR is worth it.

However, I’ve noticed additional charges that weren’t initially explained, and the rental payments are deposited into my account in multiple transactions each month.

You can't count on a guaranteed annual increase in rent. 

So, we obtaina full credit report and review collections, chargeoffs, age of credit accounts, active accounts, etc.to build an overall credit evaluation.FICO ScorePct of PopulationDefault Probability800 or more13.00%1.00%750-79927.00%1.00%700-74918.00%4.40%650-69915.00%8.90%600-64912.00%15.80%550-5998.00%22.50%500-5495.00%28.40%Less than 4992.00%41.00%Source: Fair Isaac CompanyPublic RecordsWe also obtain data from national databases about evictions, convictions and sex-offender histories.

While I'm not an accountant, CPA or attorney, I'm hard pressed to believe that if the mortgage is paid in full from the sales price the wife has to worry about getting a 1099.

I am no expert but have been present for a few inspections and i always like asking questions.I agree with all that was said already especially holding individuals accountable for caring for their own system.
