I just got 900 for a 1 br in the hood.

I know most of us here know these definitions, but just to make sure we are all on the same page.The main negative with MTR arbitrage is that since you do not own the unit, you get none of the benefits of being an owner.

The boxes were made by Federal Pacific, but can't find any information on their fuse boxes being an issue-just the breaker panels.Any experience with these would be greatly appreciated!

Basically just doing only the necessary and putting all appliances myself.

I do have a handful of clients that have ended up using multiple CPAs just due to who their partners were on different deals, and even in those cases they almost always end up consolidating to a single CPA - taxes are enough of a headache without dealing with 3 different professionals who each only have a slice of the whole picture.If you are going to regularly be investing across the country, it doesn't hurt to work with a firm that has State and Local Tax (often referred to as "SALT") internal resources, though typically this does come from larger firms with larger fees. 

I just want to see if anyone has used them and/or recommend any other service. 

Yes, you can; this strategy is called pooling and it also adds a tremendous tax advantage You'll just need to make sure the entity pulling and disbursing the capital is structured correctly for its maximum benefit

Are legacy Homes priced lower or is it just the financing making them a good deal.
