I currently own 20 units, and still work full time self employed as an insurance agent, so I am looking for a CPA/Tax prep that is knowledgeable in the RE space.

If you need 100% of the rents, most guidelines won't let us use the full income on new properties until you have a 1yr lease signed and they have paid their first months rent to you.Last resort, any family or business partners that will co-sign for you?

Our triplex is a full 203k loan.

As an agent I have noticed there are some full service CRM and website options such as Boomtown and RealGeeks but they seem SUPER expensive.

Full disclosure: I'm already under contract for this deal, but since it's my first deal I want to get some feedback even though I'm going to be going through with it regardless.I'm buying 2 condos in the same complex as a package deal for 140K.

With the work that I have been doing (new construction, addition, full Gut, Renovation) my costs are roughly $170/sqft (depending on finishes, this was a really nice finish look) $120/sqft , $80/sqft, $70/sqft... in that order.

So my grandmother is 80 years old and just stopped working officially last week.She owns a home and stills pays a mortgage on the property and since shes no longer working,does not have the means to pay her mortgage any more.I currently live with her and told her i wouldnt mind paying the full mortgage costs and all the bills that entail in owning a home but i would like to be a co-owner and when she passes the sole owner of the property.The house has been appraised at around 400 thousand and she owes currently about 225 thousand.I wanna know what options i have that maybe i havent heard of or seen,any insight or ideas are greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,Alex.

I recently left active duty Navy as a Helicopter Pilot and I was able to move directly into full time real estate.

In more astute owner/property manager interactions, the contractor will be TOLD to decrease their price ASAP or the contractor would be terminated for any future consideration.I would most definitely contact the contractor to get the low down as to why it is more, since the property manager won't do it.It sounds like since you are doing a la carte service as opposed to full service, you are getting some bad answers from the property manager. 

For me, I did my first deal at 65%, full recourse on 26 units.
