Nothing special, but definitely a move in ready property that I can immediately touch up a little and rent out the other unit to cover my mortgage and create positive cashflow. 

To add to @Nathan G. list: Hoa fees (these can be huge) Property management fees (again, can be huge… like 40% of gross)Storm & special insurance for houses on the coastSome states have special (read: higher) tax rates for properties not owner-occupied.

Leah Sykes at Greenspoon Marder and Sia Rezvani / Jeff Bennett at Warren Allen do Landlord Law almost exclusively.It's kinda specialized compared to regular RE law (more litigation), but I can recommend all 3.Call quick, they're all busier than h***.

Find a firm that does what you want to specialize in. 

As was mentioned earlier, its a hot market specially the Hampden area and its tough to find a decent deal around the neighborhood specially since everybody's looking at buying houses given the low interest rates.  

I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation.

I just started my MBA at Florida State University and am specializing in Real Estate.

I think it has the right attributes and entry point for me as a new OOS investor and hey, why not (rhetorical, but comments welcome)?

But if perhaps you have some special skill set (like you’re a contractor), maybe there’s an opportunity for you to partner with an investor who has the money?

Maybe one could argue that he should be allowed to deduct the cost of special haircuts for the TV show over and above the cost of "regular" haircut.
