Question for any and all.. we have had trouble finding a real estate investor friendly CPA, one that proactively wants to help us learn and obtain all the tax rewards with real estate. 

Real estate often rewards patience, and holding in a market like this can allow you to build wealth steadily as property values grow.

Most of the US real estate market has seen inventory continue to rise with a lot of relisting and stale dated listings, but Valdosta seems to be a “Great White Buffalo” (if you get the movie reference).

I have great lenders and property managers I can refer you to.In Cleveland, it all depends on what your goal is.

Furthermore, @Dave Meyer has a YouTube show/podcast on market trends for your reference.

These platforms are affordable and offer comprehensive reports (credit, background, eviction history) without you having to handle sensitive information directly.Verify Employment and Landlord History: Your plan to request pay stubs and a landlord reference is solid.

Hire an attorney and proceed with the eviction.In the future, I recommend you don't accept "landlord references" from friends or family members.

First of all, congrats on taking the leap into vacation property investing—it’s such an exciting journey, and I promise, with the right guidance, it can be incredibly rewarding!

If you know of anyone please refer it to me.My situation is that even though I have my STR certificate the OSE officers keep knocking on my door, the 1st time I was home and I talked to them, and because I had guests they didn't insist to get in.

Sorry, no, when I refer a case like this to our Best Attorney the "JunkYard Dog of Eviction Attorneys" he threatens to strangle me!
