Hi Mia, Great suggestions for questions to ask a potential tax professional!

In the near future, we’ll be visiting The Shoals area in northern Alabama, where we’re considering a potential move this spring.

I'm considering tapping into the equity from either my primary residence or rental property to purchase another rental home that generates solid monthly cash flow.I'm open to investing out of state and have heard that areas like Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina offer potential opportunities.

I have them tell me how long a project will take to complete, and then I add buffer days or maybe up to 2 weeks, depending on how long / complex of a project it is and potentially accounting for weather if it is outside work.

I am potentially looking into getting a trailer at the begining of the year getting a trailer that may need some work to rent out.

Fees seem high but could potentially be worth it.

My main question is whether it makes more sense to go the seller financing route and pay off the principal in 8–10 years or stick with a standard 30-year loan.My thinking is that the tax deductions from a mortgage wouldn’t outweigh the potential equity I could gain over those 8–10 years.

A lot of investors start with something that's turnkey with value-add potential.

Turbotax isn't going to educate you so unless you'd like to educate yourself and potentially make some costly pitfalls, then I'd outsource.

I'm also concerned older homes have already seen their biggest jump in capital appreciation and don't have as much potential for price growth compared to newer homes.What are your thoughts on older homes?
