Just an extra couple of clicks to do.

@Jacob HavlovickBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.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, business taxation, financial planning 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.

Find a lender that will tell you what you need to hear and NOT what you want to hear.

Do you happen to know who the lender is?

With that said, I am in the position where I will not need a monthly income from my rentals.

My brother needs to move back to the area and found a duplex fixer upper.

Holding this for 1 month (hoping that's enough to refi) that's $5k.So my aim is to save money overall by making a cash offer and close it soon.

After my P.M. costs I collect $940 or so/month. 

Hi Emeka, welcome to BP.

My method has always been to call every listing that hit 90 days on market in areas that I want to buy.
