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

I recommend to "navigate the turbulence" in your market do a deep dive on rent trends over the last 15 years. 

Consulting with a tax professional is highly recommended to ensure compliance with IRS regulations and to maximize your tax benefits.

Putting into LLC is recommended by attorney and for liability protection purposes.  

If you need further assistance or some recommendations, please feel free to reach out to me directly. 

I also recommend talking to the tenants if you can, so you can find out if there are any issues with the unit (such as, "the landlord said they were gonna fix the a/c but they never did" - if you're buying it in winter, you may not think to check the a/c).Tenants always wait to see how a new owner will act so they can see what kind of leeway they will get with things. 

Most lenders are going to be limited to using the lower of appraiser's opinion of market rent or the actual in place lease (or in some cases 110% of market if lease is greater) so it sounds like you just need to roll the dice on a new appraisal but I'd recommend having some rent comps on hand for the appraiser up front just to avoid the same issue.  75% cash out pending positive DSCR is widely available at most DSCR lenders. 

Hey Kev, Id strongly recommends having a real estate focused accountant take a look at your situation.

Has anyone worked with these or other coaches they would recommend?
