@Manny Vasquezno one has been able to tell me what the impact on the SFH market of the iBuyers and institutional buyers was. 

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $75,000 Short-term rental close to CLT airport, National Whitewater Center, Belmont Abbey College, and Charlotte city center.

We’re a local lender that also can find you some national options if it doesn’t fit our criteria.

I think if your tax return is simple(W-2 and a couple of interest/brokerage accounts), then software like turbo tax, H&R block will likely do just fine.However, when you get into investments(Real Estate, Syndications, etc), you may be better off hiring a professional.I think it is a good idea to match your tax profile with that of the professional.If you are a real estate professional, work with a CPA who understands real estate taxation.I also think people need to find the right fit with the CPA.I often find small real estate investors try to work with a large firm where their target market might be large institutional investors.

There are a few different lenders out there that will lend nationally and can quickly give you a yay or nay based on the data you input about the property. 

Not all lenders do, so it might require a bit of searching, but there are posts on here that list national lenders who do.

In addition, Columbus is home to some of the nation's most prestigious universities, such as Ohio State University, making it an ideal destination for both students and professionals.

The single family rental asset class has been a favorite with institutional buyers as of recent. 

Hey @Matthew Chalfant,I was on a National Association of Realtors Summit Zoom call today where they highlighted Charleston, SC as market that they expect to see substantial growth in over the next year!! 

Not only are there crime related issues in some areas, there are also areas subject to flood inundation and the high cost to insure a property through the National Flood Insurance Program.
