But wanted to say that I highly recommend checking out REIA for Oh and/or Cincinnati and Dayton.

Hello Andrew,I’d recommend starting by finding an agent who specializes in rental properties.

It seems I could scale my portfolio faster with an appreciation focus.Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on this?

Spend time reading the forum.

I see you're in the Boston area, so if you're looking for cash flowing markets I'd recommend Lowell, Fitchburg, Leominster, just to name a few.

I have 0 experience managing STR properties, but lots of experience using Airbnb from my travels 😅 I am halfway reading Avery Carl’s book on STR.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.Ashley

A good real estate accountant can save them thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend that they find a tax accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.I would also recommend that they look for a accountant willing to work with them throughout the year, who can help them strategize and who is responsive when they want to know the consequences of the financial decisions they are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Quote from @Melanie Thomas: My recommendation is base salary plus incentives surrounding KPI's.

If you read all of this I'd really appreciate some candid feedback.I live in Snohomish County, I'm a Navy Veteran, have a stable W-2 making about 80K/yr after taxes, and have a modest amount in savings.
