I’ve heard many say not to bother hiring an accountant/large firm for tax prep or planning until you have some investment properties or completed some deals.

I hired a licensed contractor to assist me with a rehab. 

I have been looking and doing some research on different areas to invest into and so far I have gathered information on which zip codes to avoid, the crime data for Detroit & neighboring cities/towns, rental values, demographics & economic outlook. however, I haven't been able to narrow down on any particular neighborhood yet.

I have a STR in that area and I would be happy to assist you with information. 

We have focus groups for mulit-family, flipping, landlording, and others where you can learn a lot of valuable information and network with other local investors.

Does anyone have a bit of information on what rates I can expect to pay for CA capital gains?

That is something you should get detailed information on before proceeding. 

If hiring a property manager frees up your time and enables you to concentrate on activities that generate revenue, it can be worth it.For your next house hack, think about working as a group.

Don't want to give out false information but I am in a similar situation right now and am curious how it is going to work in the coming years.
