Quote from @Drew Sygit:My apologies w/my earlier post (below), I was on my phone and not laptop so it wasn't tagging.I will if I may add some additional thoughts...1) The appraisals I've seen in these markets are no where near Zillow estimates. 

Am I getting greedy to ask for an additional seller credit at closing to help offset some of repairs needed?

Does anyone know of a calculator where I can plug in the additional yearly pay down along with the appreciation rate of my area? 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

My best understanding from talking to reps is they have one local employee (in addition to vendors like cleaners, landscapers...) per 10 listings/properties. 

Thanks for any additional input you have time to put forth.

@Steven HsuBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Additionally, take some time to drive around your neighborhood and gather information on recently sold properties within a mile radius.
