Sounds like its a $4k tax planning fee and then they do your taxes as well for an additional fee. 

Sounds like you should speak with an accountant.

From your post, it sounds as if you've exhausted your cash putting 25% on ready-made single-family rental properties.My suggestion to you would be to study the BRRRR method and link up with investors and wholesalers in your area.

Quote from @Maurie Smith: It sounds like you're on the right track with your analysis.

Sounds great, I will send you a message. 

It sounds like you've had a very positive experience overall.

That sounds like a nightmare!
