I'm also curious how much it costs to prepare the land and install plumbing, electricity, and concrete (driveway, walkways, patios).I'd love all the insights I can get from anyone that has experience doing this.

You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist who is willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return.

Can somebody please point me to investor friendly tax preparer or CPA in Louisiana (Lafayette or Baton Rough) for service.

More often than not, I see out of state firms make errors on anything but the very simplest NH situation (heck, a lot of NH tax preparers also get it wrong). 

Having achieved a positive outcome with my first investment, I'm now eagerly preparing to close on my next investment property.

No, no, no.....run....Or at least make sure their parents are 100% liable for rents and damages....set down strict, hard and firm rules and be prepared to enforce them.

I have 200k in liquid cash (yes this was self earned thru 5yrs of sacrifices and hard work 12-16hr days 7days a week with maybe a month in the summers as break to see family back home, but i dont want to do this forever) My dad and I want to be partners going into these deals. there is a new construction 4plex i am looking to build which will be 775k that i will put 25% down (half me half my dad) which will cash flow net 2k /mo if i rent it out LT (COC of 11% which isnt bad and apparently my agent who recently worked on a neighboring new build said the appraisal after its built is mid/high 800s, also my plan is after 2yrs to REFI at lower rate). i am considering to have 2 of the units as MTR for local nurses or construction crews which of course can increase profits much more. i also have a 3acre property that i am thinking to build small 2bd 1ba cabins and use as STR/MTR/LTR. but i am also wanting to do do STR as i love the concept and have watched Robuilt everyday learning from him. i am looking to buy land in a mountain/ski town (189k 10acres) and build a beautiful aframe and use as a STR. all these property ideas are close by to me so i will have a close look on them and will manage myself. i have just been consuming knowledge endlessly the last 3months in preparation for this decision.but as you can see my head is all over and im unsure what the correct first step will be. i have many goals and visions of what i want to do i just need some help making a correct first decision on those who are far more experienced than me in this real estate space so i use my capital in the most efficient way. i understand real estate is long game and i have no issues with that but i would like to at a minimum cashflow 100k a month by the time im 30. this is a big goal but i have 8yrs to do this. thank you for your help i look forward to the responses(side note: i am not considering house hacking as i live with my family, this will possibly be an option in the future)
