I would prioritize finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation over one that is local.There are 20+ accountants on this message board who specialize in real estate taxation.

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is safe and in a good mental space; given the circumstances.I've been working to be as ready as I could be in the event of a downturn. 

I got a property in a hot market for almost half price that way from a homeowner with a property with issues who's sick and cannot physically and mentally handle it.

It’s easy to get sucked into the bigger is better mentality when adding square footage but you may want to consider building an ADU that gives you the biggest return without ruining the aesthetics of your home and taking up the majority of your land.

It's also about how you disperse your mental energies and focus, the more spent on accounting is the less for the actual REI business functions. 

As an Oregon trail millennial, most of the generations above me are stuck in the Dave Ramsey debt is bad/work your day job and save cash mentality, or they are millennials who are quite successful professionally but priced out of even owning a primary because they’ve been on the sidelines too long.

My goal is to see how I can help them (literally will do anything kind of mentality) and go from there! 

Inevitably we want them to take care of our properties with an ownership mentality as if it belongs to them. 

You need to be mentally prepared for those first steps and a couple years after.
