Hey @Nick Gallon Martin, I recommend speaking to a Tax Planner/CPA, @Jeff Nash would be a great resource for you.

Whether you need a CPA with just three rentals depends on the complexity of your situation and your comfort level with DIY tax prep.If things are pretty straightforward, you might be fine with tax software for now.

Somebody bought that house at Tax Sale.   

Also be aware of Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT) on leveraged real estate inside of an IRA.Or better yet, since you are self-employed - go with a truly self-directed Solo 401k plan, which would be a much better option and will help you avoid the UBIT on this investment.

They lower taxable income for federal taxes but not for FICA.However, employer contributions made by the S-Corp are not subject to FICA and count as a business expense.Make sure your W-2 correctly reports wages, deferrals, and FICA wages.

I set up tax lien as a keyword alert so I get alerted when someone mentions them.

I want to have more rental properties in the future and could definitely use that income to help fund those, but with the interest rates being higher, it makes me nervous.

This could reduce your help lower your taxable income if the investment aligns with your lifestyle goals.
