@Greg StrunakA 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 who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

This forum is pretty open and people often share their knowledge and best practices, hence don't hesitate to ask any questions you want :) Good luck with your business!

Could this be considered an unethical practice in any way, given the organization’s non-profit status?

No one recommended a bank at the time for the SDIRA, it was only trust companies as the custodian.

I would recommend you use the profile page BP.  

@Jonathan Bombaci recommend using that amount as a bargaining chip for lower rates.80% of evictions are wash, rinse, repeat. 

Seems like a good idea in theory maybe not in practice. 

Please recommend a lawyer who works with fixed fee and does not charge for every min s/he talks to you. 

- Any lessons learned or best practices you’d recommend for someone leaning toward this approach?

Often don't have to be licensed, but ask.If you are serious about all this, recommend getting your RE license AND pursuing NARPM courses.
