Will you hire a developer or build it yourself?

Perhaps they can provide weekly updates here on the status of the development.

Whether you need a CPA with just three rentals depends on the complexity of your situation and your comfort level with DIY tax prep.If things are pretty straightforward, you might be fine with tax software for now.
