Most of the easy "lipstick on a pig" transformations are gone - you're often looking at more serious rehabs to make the numbers work.That said, we do have some advantages: strong rental market (lots of students, young professionals), still relatively affordable deals, and good appreciation potential in many neighborhoods.

You can find lots of real estate related resources (wholesalers, buyers, contractors, realtors, lenders, property managers etc.) 

I'm really sick today with a nasty cold, etc. 

There are a high number of CPA firms that do not want to get involved outside of the FYI to their clients, and some state boards are saying that a CPA advising related to this registration is an "unlicensed practice of law" given it is not under Title 26 - income taxes - the only place where CPAs and EAs are specifically authorized to interpret law. 

This section of the guide helps me to better understand how you can use the www.mysmartmove.com in conjunction with other forms of background checking:The Tenant Credit Report: The tenant credit report will contain a wealth of information related to the tenants credit history, including a detailed list of all the tenant’s open or closed credit cards, car payments, monetary judgements, late payments, and more.

The real estate prices are relatively low, compared to the cities & more touristy areas, but the rental returns are good, with a low vacancy rate.

Handling Unforseen DelaysA clause should address unexpected events beyond human control, including weather-related delays, natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, or unforeseen structural issues.

I would check as best you can before you even contract, but also for sure once you do contract and have the documents in hand.While there are some places for $150,000, there should be relatively few of those any more, certainly in buildings that have long term potential. 

I want to thank you for calling me and being open to help further with my tax related questions. 

Welcome @Jacqueline Henderson - relatively new here myself.
