Insurance has gone up quite a bit, property taxes and HOA fees as well.

I'm looking for local recommendations for an experienced real estate tax accountant/CPA.

From what i have heard, taxes 2% of the sales price, insurance varies between $3-5k, and HOA also varies.

Notified the tenants to come check and help secure the doors.

@Kevin Drouillard most PMCs do not pursue collections after a tenant moves out.Check the eviction judgment to see if a money judgment was included.If not, you will need to pursue small claims judgment.Once you have a money judgment you can try to garnish (another court process) wages, bank accounts or state tax refunds.

We primarily focus on vacants, preforeclosures, tax liens, and pre-probate leads.  

The median time to secure a contract saw a 23.9% decrease dropping to 35 days..Oh, the excitement!

I need to secure financing as soon as possible so this house does not continue to sit unusuable. 

The basic rule for the amount of cash to have at hand is 3 months of ALL expenses as if the rental was unoccupied and you had to pay all the utilities on top of the full Primary mortgage, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance (PITI).As well, it's pays to have a bit more because life happens.Good Luck!

There are tax filings and yearly fees associated with them.
