Base your decision more on the numbers and don't worry as much about what type of property it is.Here are my random thoughts/recommendations for multi units vs SFRs:For multi units, stick with studios. 1bed, or 2bed units.  

Rather, it's set by what the CPA believes that their time is worth based on the services that they provide. 

I would not sell every $250k gain based on that alone. 

The navy is charging roughly 1400 for a one bed one bath near the bases. my mortgage would be around $3100 dollars with my VA home loan.

Hi @Andrew Rellinger,Based on the information you provided, the "make or break" for this rental is not going to be where or not you change out the carpet.

At least up here, service is VERY important and VERY complicated, so you and/or your attorney need to make sure that you cover all the bases. 

Buts it's perfectly fine because it's part of the strategy and by design.

Property tax is a very local issue, and the details of particular problems can vary widely based on the statutes in that state.I'm mostly wondering what issues people have run into , and if they've hired outside help to deal with those issues.

My primary goal is to find a legal partner who is responsive, reliable, and thorough, ensuring that all parties are kept in the loop and that closing can proceed smoothly without last-minute surprises or delays.I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community for advice:Have you worked with law firms not based in the state where you were purchasing property, and if so, how was your experience?

You can "split" the properties and determine the value based on a formula of your choosing.
