Since my firm is an investor private client boutique, I do not share resources outside of my client base.

They must provide quality service, or their clients won't want to pay the price.

This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

What real estate tax saving strategies have you utilized with other clients?

We have helped a ton of clients with the process here in Chicago..just be sure to find a team (Agent, Lender, HUD Consultant, and General Contractor) that has done these renovation loans in the past!

This also helps with tax planning so clients aren't blindsided.The tools/software that clients use is as varied as the clients themselves. 

A significant number of my clients are from out of state, including many from Washington State and California.

Regardless of how a certain asset class is doing, an investor like yourself can ALWAYS find a good deal in any type of property.Now, my general suggestion for all of my CFO clients is the gradually move up the unit spectrum/asset type as you build up your portfolio.

Those agents who are helping their clients finding a tenant are easier to talk to and my become your advocate.Here is a huge exception.   

The last 3 clients I worked with all ended up with Chase.
