.: I think you meant to type was… Thanks @Jeff S.for your free professional advice.

@Adam M.The cost for a real estate tax accountant will vary based on location, experience, education and other factors, just like any other professional.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

One key he found was mixing a welcoming atmosphere with firm guidelines.. it typically falls under standard tenant landlord laws for eviction.. so you’ll want to double-check local regulations.You mentioned Furnished Finders and Padslipt.com.. from what I’ve heard, those can be great if you’re targeting traveling professionals or short term visitors.

You better buy a great place, furnish it well, and take good photographs, not to mention iterate it with professionalism.

Hiring a lawyer sounds expensive, but it is way cheaper than hiring a amateur (in this case yourself) who costs you money and provides no results (and then you need to hire a professional anyway).My personal philosophy is to "do it right, or do it twice" and its way cheaper to do it right once. 

Sometimes condos/townhomes are better at attracting young working professionals given that they are usually in more densely populated areas and often will have amenities that come with the HOA like pools, gyms, etc. 

I’d start with a smaller deal - buy a 6 to 12 unit say - raise money from your social and professional sphere - people who know you - who you have a beer with etc.

Are they being professionally managed or DIY managed?

It’s great to know there are resources & professionals like you willing to help guide new investors.Looking forward to connecting & continuing this conversation!
