My plan is to acquire more properties but I want to add an experienced accountant to my team to make sure I am getting the biggest bang for my bucks. 

I agree, I could have done better in not being so naive to the process - I could have asked better questions and did that internet search way back then. 

Just had an inspection done yesterday and nothing major came out of it that would need immediate action other than closing some loose hanging wires and other minor things.So this is the biggest research and work we've done.

Moving into a senior living home isn't off the table, I did some internet sleuthing and found that they own a house in the next town over, based on the size this doesn't look like an investment property and is probably their primary residence. 

My biggest bottleneck was getting over the fear of purchasing a property and not having all the information and answers to be a landlord.

Beckie - You can ask your CPA for his/her suggestion, but I think the biggest item is to track your payments (from LLC to personal) on an excel file and make note at the end of the year of the interest versus principle paid on the HELOC (which the bank should give you during year end statements) - in that way, you may be able to write off some of the interest.

Many of them are fakes on the internet.

What improvements/amenities are the biggest bang for your buck an owner can add/do prior to rental?

That's everything -- utilities, cable/internet, Airbnb fees, lodger's tax, etc.----------$4,575 -- cash flowOne caveatOne big caveat to that cash flow is that his first four months were some of the hottest months for Airbnb in Denver and Colorado in general.

In my observation, most cities with rent control have actually seen the biggest appreciation because of the limited supply that rent control often causes.
