I’ve recommend all my clients to him in the area for the last few years and they have had great success. 

We have about 10 clients in your situation.

My firend once had a client who did a high end remodel in a somewhat modest neighborhood.

This is how our bookkeeping Clients operate and it works.I've heard good things about Rentredi and Rentastic for PM.

I'm seeing lots of my clients have success currently with auctions in Cecil County and Baltimore City. 

I am in Central Florida and have some great PM relationships, but none of them cover all the areas I service, so I tell my clients, let's find a property, and then I can connect you with the Best PM that covers the area. 

While I don't know the nuances of the market, I do have a client that's a real estate investor and agent in Phoenix that could probably give you some suggestions.

I can absolutely assist…I am a Full Time Realtor and RE Investor here in Ventura County.I help the full range of clients buyer, seller, renters, investors etc. 

Hey @Dalton Foote - I highly suggest  using a renovation loan and house hacking a multi-family if that is possible with your current life circumstances.The 203k and homestyle renovation loans are just amazing products and drastically help you reduce your risk, in my opinion, because you are able to leverage the cost of the entire renovation with such a low down payment loan.We work with a lot of clients who use these products in Chicago, and no matter what, in the long term, they gain great equity.If you aren't able to house hack - the process is essentially the same, but just with more money down with hard money or conventional construction loan.

Clear financial separation ensures all rental expenses are deductible, maintains legal protections, and simplifies tax compliance.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
