A good tax 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 business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

My plan is to live in one of the units while renting out the others.

I would plan to long-term rent the property from day one and would never reside in the property before renting.  

We plan on starting renovations on the unit in X (I would say a date but in reality have a 2-3 month buffer), and based on this we are no longer going to be renting the unit out.

I have one 3/2 condo in Talahassee that I gear towards MTR, and I am currently under contract on a second property that I plan on long term renting/ possible section 8. 

A refi makes more sense if you plan to hold the property long-term as a rental.

How much rent are you getting and are you planning to buy more properties?
