Project size and asset class can greatly impact lease up schedule.

@Minji KimRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which is VERY important for stable rental income and low property maintenance/damage.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

They also have tools for on boarding investors.There are property managements softwares to help with property/asset management.There are CRMs that help with capital raising and investor automations.I would not focus on automation right now, but on the business of multifamily.

Very few are in financial positions where tax strategies should be prioritized in their real estate business outside of perhaps timing and tax consequences of selling real estate. 

Many alternative lenders have internal guidelines that prevent against lending on assets with any commercial components.

I am not really in a position to purchase my first property just yet, but I am getting all my financials in order and saving up to hopefully buy something next year.

I am interested in starting with short term rentals to reach financial freedom and flexibility.

I wasnt aware of the business plan part but was told it was a requirement if i had no record of business financials (newly formed corp)   Do you have a sample copy of a business plan for lenders?

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

So, if you assess yourself you might find your interest is financials and you want to be a financial guy dealing with accounting and finance or maybe you want to be hands-on in some way.
