The hairstylist, that's what they do 24/7,  Dentist knows the ins and out of your mouth and the restaurant is capable of basically save you time  and perhaps surprise you with new mist of flavors. 

However, hiring a CPA will not save you any money, in other words will not reduce your taxes. 

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

The tax benefits have been the largest source for cash income so far; in future years this will likely be lower because much of our tax savings has been due to one-time costs related to purchasing and furnishing a new property.

If you’ve ever though of retiring outside of California that could be the ideal place to buy a “nicer” property that someday may work better as a primary than a rental.

You may keep some of the tenants, you will save on renovation costs, and you may not have al, 4 units vacant.  

Did they attempt a capital call to save the deal?

I am currently rebuilding my credit and have finally been able to start saving money and looking to get my first property by the end of next year.

But the closer to where you live is always better so you can self manage and save money.
