We would like to have the property to an LLC for liability purposes and then have the LLC owned by our Family Trust for Estate Planning purposes.

To answer both your questions, I would recommend you don't engage a real estate-focused accountant until you have at least one property.

I want my involvement in managing my future properties to lessen, becoming more "passive".

I'm actively purchasing multiple properties and would like to leverage hard money loans with terms typically ranging from 1.5 to 2 years.My primary focus is on securing financing that aligns with my investment goals while ensuring that the rates and terms are the most favorable.

When starting out, I think you should at least be able to get to your property several times within the first couple of years to en reasonable amousure everything is set up and functioning properly.

This basically releases the one moving out and the security deposit stays with the property. 

Then there's the issue with doing a 1031 which is fine but my property taxes would go from $2200/yr to $4400/yr for an identical home. 

I've read a lot of people will buy a property as an STR, put it into service then do a cost seg.

I noticed one property where it seems that someone got a single mortgage with a legal description containing several properties.

If I were to purchase a property at the auction that is foreclosed for first mortgage but has code enforcement liens, will the code enforcement liens go away after I win the bid and pay off the mortgage or do the liens stay on property and I am responsible for them?
