I am going to talk to a few clients and see if can get referrals for fighting the values.

You will tend to have less cash flow with a turnkey company since they also need to profit.

Higher property taxes generally tend toward safer investments with overall better tenants but if you're willing to take the risk you can cashflow much more in said lower end areas.Good luck in all your future investing!

People here tend to stay in their homes for a very long time so if you buy a rented residential property it's seen as a safe investment.

I am not sure about marrying the two businesses, but you sure could leverage them for referrals to each other.

Ask for referrals on the forums.

If you buy mostly off-market you'll get zero commission, so a major factor for you will be if you plan to shop mostly via the MLS (which can be a good strategy especially for SFH where the data tends to be better quality). 

My problem is I know a thing or two: I have been rehabbing houses in Milwaukee for the last 14 years, and you tend to learn quickly when you are paying for the rehab.

When I did mine via incFile that came with a referral to Bank of America for business bank accounts, and BoA walked me through that setup, pretty painless.For tax deductible transactions the software has each deductible category so any given transaction it either automatically knows based on the vendor and/or description, or it will ask you to set a rule. 

Any recommendations or referrals?
