I'm wondering what "rule of thumbs" people use (knowing that every deal is unique).

How would I determine where a select location has been selling steadily?

This means getting a quality list, sending unique mailers and being consistent with your mailings.

I work full time as a teacher, have income from tutoring, and rental income.I am looking for an accountant that knows real estate taxes inside and out that can help me file this year's taxes and also advise me regarding my overall investment plan (loan payoff vs. saving for second home; acquiring another mortgage with my unique financial situation, etc).Any contact information would be greatly appreciated!

And if you happen to come across the unique situation we need as flippers then that'll be great too. 

Careful in your selection as stains that are silane based (silicon) typically do not breath.I have seen the face of brick and the entire front wall of CMU 'popped' off an elevation due to sealing the exterior of a cavity wall system.My suggestion is to hire an expert such as an architect, building systems engineer or such to give a recommendation on how your wall systems were designed to function.
