This is great of your accountant who may choose to advise that you liquidate shares during a tax year where you realize some loss elsewhere.

Your worst-case scenario (not specific to MA) would be having to sue to get them out as a holdover, but this is really reserved for worst-choice scenarios when owners choose the first renter or don't do any due diligence.

@Eric Mcginn,You have a good idea and end goal. 

My goal is to build an active group of investors who are eager to collaborate, share ideas, and work together.

I would love to meet some new members, young or no, whose goals might include a solid cash flow and providing good value to renters who are exploited or poorly treated by unresponsive landlords or large corporate operations.  

Please do not disparage people who choose to carry.

I would urge great caution when choosing neighborhoods and even blocks to invest in as things can go uphill or downhill very quickly.

The 2.99% fee is when tenants choose to pay through debit or credit cards.

For other situations, we charge a fee equivalent to two month’s rent if they choose to back out early.Since most of our tenants are traveling nurses, we typically don’t receive inquiries too far in advance.

What should I watch out for, and is there a significant advantage to choosing an EA over a CPA?
