I'm finding that most CPA's, even those that work with Realtors, are not necessarily going to implement the best tax strategy.

Hey Will Barnard - Your initial idea has been implemented.

The next thing we started implementing is having people put down a deposit and sign the lease if they want us to hold the apartment for say a week or two.

Then being part of a smaller group to grow, implement what I'm learning, and network has been great!

The neighbor is right to be concerned about mold growing...if proper and thorough drying processes were not implemented quickly, the sheetrock can wick up a lot of moisture from the floor, including the space in the framing between the units on the back of the sheetrock.

And, some DSCR private lenders will have less stringent seasoning requirements than others, e.g. 3 mo's as opposed to 6 mo's. and will calculate their maximum loan amount in different ways.

Stories of conferences, heart attacks, travel hold-ups, new underwriting procedures being implemented, and all kinds of interesting and very believable events.In the end you will NEVER see one penny of the money you send to him ever again.

It could be that 2 means of egress from each unit is enough or they may have more stringent requirements.

Any specific guidance on books, courses, masterminds, mentors etc for strategies and implementation?

You may also be able to offset the cost of PMI by increasing rent or implementing cost-cutting measures.
