@Tanner Bundy Welcome to the forum, most the tax pros on this site work remotely and specialize in real estate investment.

Can somebody please point me to investor friendly tax preparer or CPA in Louisiana (Lafayette or Baton Rough) for service.

the dti will include all of your monthly debt obligations on your credit report as well as the mortgage payment you're taking on along with property taxes and insurance 

You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist who is willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return.

I won’t be looking to re fi those anytime soon because my interest rates are so low with them but when I do my current lender has said they will be limiting how much they will lend based on the properties tax returns. 

Here;s the key : Postion your investments in real property so that the investments can take advantage of ALL of the following: 1- cash flow 2- equity build up through loan amortization3- price appreciation4- tax benefitsThe LEAST important of the 4 above are tax benefits as investing through a retirement fund, ESPECIALLY ROTH, will provide tax shelter itself.  

Would I be taxed on that money if I sold the shares and put it into real estate that same year?

Your depreciation doesn’t reset until you die or pay 25% depreciation recapture tax. 

Look at every method you can for reducing taxes, income and property taxes.

I know about 1031 exchanges to avoid taxes but not getting a loan against the house to prevent profits....
