Part of my strategy, as everyone's, is to expand my network.

Strategies have to adjust just like markets adjust by growing or weaking. 

I'm a developer, landlord, flipper looking for a long-term CPA to work to grow the business by setting the optimal tax strategies in place.

Buy/hold strategy.

I'm curious if my living in the house before converting it is going to prevent me from leveraging this tax strategy.

My wife and I started with house hacking, it continues to be one of the most efficient strategies in New Jersey.

Therefore, the efficient strategy they pursue in order to achieve them may differ.  

For example if I want to utilize the BRRRR strategy I will eventually need to pull out cash to reinvest.

Current rates do not help your case around cash flow, but I like the strategy you are promoting for room to room rentals.

Especially if you set up with the lender going into it, but set it up as a 'delayed finance' that would recoup ~85% of the purchase price along with a small rehab escrow to reimburse you for the rehab that you plan on doing.Then, just set up with the lender that you are working with that your exit strategy is to 'refinance', which is true, but then refinance with a conventional lender and everyone is happy.Is that along the lines of what you are planning?
