I have three rentals as well and can attest that there are definitely tips and strategies out there that a knowledgeable CPA, who specializes in real estate, can help you with. 

Personally I like the A-B neighborhoods, south of the mason dixon line (the winters aren't as harsh), because it's a safer more consistent investment with the rental clientele you're working with and it's almost guarantee'd you'll get every dollar invested back, of course if you buy the right deal.

Of course  out of state.

Guys i have a question if i did the brrrr method all the way with the rent in the end..my question after i did the second mortgage of course... the equity i have in the property van i get Heloc on this or not ?

I didn't add much value as the tenant never vacated besides appreciation of course.
