I worked for my uncle in a machine shop when I was in my very early 20s And would hear him talk about the money he made on real estate.

Uncle Mo,Jon is absolutely correct.

You are also correct,the more they spread the homes into the hands of smaller investors, the more it will mitigate mass movements in the market as each will have their own "plan".What is interesting in reading FHFA findings is that they are pushing for public/private money partnerships, no doubt making Uncle Sam the partial landlord in some grand socialist move.Though Carrington/OakTree just announced $415MM raised & dedicated toward the program.

With Roger (Investors Accounting), I believe most people people pay a flat rate per year for all consulting, tax advising and tax prep -- I've paid a fixed rate for the past 12 years.As for the cost, you can certainly find less expensive if all you care about is tax prep. 

Whether he got it from BOA or his Uncle Phil.

Look at it this way, cashing in $100k means your Uncle Sam will get near $40k and you will only get $60k.

I have been doing SFU deals with my dad and uncle here in west Texas, but I am expanding into multi family.

10 years is the general timeframe to collect on all debts owed to uncle sam.
