In the beginning, I wanted the classic small multi family house hack, but have quickly found that that's not feasible with my situation -- they're very expensive and of the few available, they're far from penciling and cashflowing. 

Purchased the property in 2021 on an awesome owner finance note with the intention of starting the build quickly thereafter.We had, what I thought was, a great quote in hand to throw up a pole barn and start our journey towards financial freedom with a grand slam of an investment.

Hi @William Ryans,In your search for an accountant, I would recommend seeking an accountant who also has personal real estate experience so that they can not only help you with your bookkeeping and tax needs, but also guide you and give you tangible recommendations for your real estate career.Additionally, in today’s day and age, accountants are able to deliver the same caliber work to you from anywhere in the country.

Its a quick google search and you can see the other qualifications. 

My rentals have been in demand, going quickly up for rent.

It also can put a little pressure on prospects if done right to help motivate them to get an application done quickly.

I now also am willing to spend more on a room.Lastly, remember as a general rule in macro/micro economics is during a recession the younger generation wealth dries up quick and the older knows how to make it stretch and they have larger wealth to spend. 

I keep the project moving so I can either rent the property or flip it quickly thus reducing my holding costs.
