Should I get a CPA to help me with my taxes this year or should I continue to use online tax tools until I have acquired more properties? 

: 1) buy the house by using $50k in cash from a HELOC2) get an invoice from a contractor for the $15k in rehab costs before closing and put the $15k in escrow with your closing attorney in charge of the escrow3) on the HUD1 settlement statement, enter the $50k purchase price on line 101 as the "contract sales price", enter the $15k on line 103 as "settlement charges to buyer", and the total of $65k on line 120 as "gross amount due from buyer"4) the property gets rehabbed and the contractor gets paid through the escrow as the work is completed.5) get a tenant placed in the property after rehab is completed6) get financing on your property for the lesser of a) 75% of the ARV which is $67,500 or b) the "gross amount due from buyer" per line 120 on the HUD1 settlement statement which is $65k7) so overall, you get your $65k cash back out through a mortgage that is based on the "gross amount due from buyer" per line 120 on the HUD1 settlement statement8) you now have a rental property with a tenant paying your monthly mortgage and you essentially have no money left in the deal@Andrew Postell I read your other post, which was fantastic.

A brief search of reviews online wasn't promising.

I just use QuickBooks online.

My suggestion - better in time and effort, and money (through the mistakes you going to make), than paying a guru.Between BP and books and all the other podcasts and blogs available for free, you shouldn't need any paid training - don't fall for that.

I would not consider Air Bnb.I want to go on line book my room know the hotel is there and everything is working.. plus I know the bedding is good etc. 

You can even find some basic wills online for pretty inexpensive. 

While you can often find good quality lines like Moen, Kohler and others at both big box and supply houses, you’ll need to go to supply houses or online retailers for higher end product.

Through networking at real estate groups and meet ups, through online forums like bigger pockets and through your personal network of friends and associates. 

is that using some online calculators or using real world rental prices
