From house hackers to traditional investors, the financing piece of 4 units and below is widely appealing.

Property tax is a very local issue, and the details of particular problems can vary widely based on the statutes in that state.I'm mostly wondering what issues people have run into , and if they've hired outside help to deal with those issues.

A property in Allentown, may seem convenient in location, be really close to promising comps, and have good valuations, but only a local expert or someone from the Pittsburgh Area would know that you probably have the market area too wide. 

I realize this can vary widely, but any ballpark numbers would be incredibly helpful.I appreciate any insights or advice you can share!

@Adam WidderI have heard costs anywhere from $500 to $2,000 a month which is a very wide spread this wondering if it’s worth it.

I think my position is a bit more complex than your average investor since:1) I am brand new and have been shopping for a good CPA to no avail for a month.2) I need to shelter risky assets as best as possible (which may include anonymity)3) I am looking to aggressively expand over the next 12 months into different states for short-term rentals, which have volatile regulations.4) My expected income for 2018 has a very wide band thus leaving room for the need for constant advice and dynamic planningThanks so much for any thoughts.

At least the process here will be harder than just a city council getting together and banning it overnight on a whim.Arizona used to have the same state laws protecting STR in place state-wide.  

Cast a wide net in the platforms you use to increase your chances.

It's a double wide manufactured home, 3/2, on land near the lake, 1 acre, worth about $110K to $125K.

One question is, I didn't do comprehensive analysis of national wide, so not sure if Overland Park is a good place to start with.
