I've been interested in New Haven because theres a bit both B and C-D neighborhood. there are some ghetto parts which like I said I'm fine with I grew up in some rough parts of NYC mid 90's I know how to handle my self in these area. and as long as I'm thorough and diligent with my screening/vetting process in tenant selection, I should be able to find decent people to make my tenants. there is huge working class in New Haven and its seeing slow stead growth. 

Is that simply the process no matter how many properties an individual or fund implements? 

Conduct a thorough financial analysis to assess the potential return on investment, cash flow, expenses, financing expenses, and tax ramifications.Create a reliable screening process for potential tenants.

I am currently in the process of eliminating all my debt (about 7000) and then resume my savings.

Are Rocket Mortgage and Lending Tree reputable and if I were to go that route, what would the process look like?

Be confident in the process and in yourself.

Accounting firms typically have nothing to do with this process unless somehow the title company subcontracted the preparation of the 8288 to them (which really isn’t necessary as it doesn’t require tax expertise, only familiarity with the FIRPTA procedures in general, which any title co who’s worked with a sale by a foreign person would likely know).This is indeed a weird situation and it definitely is unsupported by any authority in the code and regulations to send the withholding tax amount to an accounting firm acting as a middle man for the IRS unless they somehow expressly made an agreement to do so.Good luck with that

I'm in the process of changing companies so I have faith the new folks can deal with it. 

Hard to call it a "booth" actually -- that show is so huge it was really more like the Schlage pavilion 😃I talked to the Encode product manager for quite a while about integrations, including the new direct one with AirBnB, and some of their PMS integrations like with OwnerRez. 

In particular- how was the process when the tenant moved out and there were charges reported against the Security Deposit?
