I'm an investor and investor-agent based in Northern NJ (Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Passaic and parts of Union counties), and specialize working with first-time investors.

@Dan Deng - It's sometimes difficult to find a CPA who both specializes in real estate and is located close to you in Ann Arbor.There are lots of good CPAs and Enrolled Agents on Bigger Pockets who work remotely and have clients all over the country.

Are competitors full or are they offering discounts and specials to attract tenants? 

problem is, you don't have full view of the balance on the 1st specially if they did a loan modification and the modification is not recorded.  

Most of the tax professionals on BiggerPockets specialize in real estate.

I don't do high cost loans, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were NOT any special requirements to have/maintain an escrow account.
