@Matthew McleanBigger Pockets is a great place to find an accountant specializing in real estate taxation.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.Consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for an accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Please contact us if you can help this family recover their life savings. 

It would also be important to network with other investors, stay informed about regional market shifts, and leverage any available incentives to maximize my investment potential.Good luck!

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

The more actions you take of course the more money you will save but it will take more time, effort and energy while there is a learning curve which often times can be pretty steep in this industry. 

Talk to a competent CPA.BTW, the real value is not derived from saving a management fee. 

Talk with a CPA or read tax strategies (you may be able to save yourself some money).

Let’s break it down:Loan: $300,000Base Rate: 8% (P&I: $2,201)Buydown: 1 point ($3,000) lowers rate to 7.75% (P&I: $2,145)Monthly Savings: $56Break-even: ~54 monthsHolding long-term?

So if you are anticipating higher rents and therefore higher income next year you may want to wait till then if you are trying to maximize the amount of the cash out refi.

Wrapping 3 properties into one blanket loan shouldn't be a problem, save these are sitting on any sizeable acreage.You might get lucky and find a unicorn local bank or credit union that would consider that kind of leverage, but I would say overall, those terms are very unrealistic.Cheers!
