Even better?

I would recommend finding a real estate cpa even for one property.

The deal can make sense even if it doesn't meet some arbitrary "rule" 

Since the cost seg study would just create an even bigger loss, it might not actually help you this year if you don’t have taxable income to offset.But here’s the part a lot of investors forget to consider—if you’re planning to buy another property this year, this loss could affect your ability to get financing.

Quote from @Paul Whitehurst: Many will tell you to borrow money from Property A to purchase Property B, but that's known as over-leveraging and not recommended for a newer investor.

Either way, the property will cash flow like crazy once my unit is rented.I have enough capital to get into a bigger property with low money down and am seriously considering a triplex or fourplex for the next one.Here’s the issue: My lender (local bank) says I need to be fully moved out and have a lease in place before they’ll proceed with my loan.

if they were that great you'd never see them because they'd all get bought up before they even came to you.I think what @Travis Biziorek is saying is correct - you need a strong network to be successful. 

Quote from @Martin Jones: YouTube gurus will tell you to borrow money from someone else, but that's bad advice for a beginner.

I've been following the build-to-rent method for some time and even lived in one for 2 years.
