As far as checking your accountant's technical competence, you can use this old but still applicable questionnaire:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/792277-how-to...Other questions that you may want to ask are listed in this post:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/795929-questi...3.

I personally doubt he is. So

Hi @Dave Tab yes for the low money down loans as far as I know you need to be able to show you are occupying the property.   

the economy is super promising and the future looks bright as far as appreciation goes.

The interest is so much in the beginning, because the balance is so high, the interest decreases because the balance decreases.

As far as I know the prices have continued to be stable or go up.

@Matt Wan In the Boston area the inventory is so tight I'm not even sure there's "deals" in the off season.

But, as far as rental property, Huntsville is still the prime area.

You know what the payment is so you can add that amount to the customizable expenses which would obviously skew your ROI and would not keep track of your pay down and that type of thing.

Spread your eggs between multiple pockets rather than everything into one property that may or may not appreciate and cashflow as you forecasted.The only exception that rule would be in Austin, if you live there, or in Phoenix AZ just because the growth in the Phoenix metro is so strong and you can still cashflow there.
