Accountants are in such demand, that the best are not even accepting clients half the time.The other problem I see often with accountants on here is that they specialize in larger investors, and have really high prices when you as a smaller investor do not need all the bells and whistles.Another thing I see is folks thinking they need to have a tax professional in their state.

My wife and I started saving and building our credit a year and a half ago after talking to a lender to figure out our trajectory to buying our first property.With our credit score in the high 700s and our savings just over 35K we reached back out to our lender and got a rough estimate of where we stood as far as borrowing power.

Combined LTV varies between 70 and 100%, rates of course too. expect about half a point over prime.
