Also look into:- Bookkeeper (hire someone) so you can concentrate on building your assets and equity- CPA advisor (not just tax prep) and at least meet with them every three months with your financials- Real Estate Attorney - may sure they are in sync with your CPA Advisor- Tax Preparer - could be an EA or CPA.

@Rick Willson  I would go prepared with the following:last two years tax returns with all scheduleslast two years W2slast 2 months bank statements to show reserveslast 30 days of pay stubscurrent leases for each propertyif any rental properties were acquired this year and not listed on your schedule E yet, proof of receipt of rent or security depositmortgage statement, tax bills, proof of insurance, HOA statements for any other properties, including your primary residence There's no need to look "bigger than you are." 

P.O.S. inspections were developed, I would argue, because municipality leadership was unable to devise programs to HELP homeowners with their properties. 

Be prepared for inspections and long failure lists (chipped paint, torn screen, missing light globes).

Don't get the two programs backwards. 

Waiting one year or two years is not much of a difference if you were not prepared to realise your rent increases immediately.

I have a 20k program that will work wonders for you.

@Steadman ShortCody sperber is generally considered a waste of time as far as programs go.

I’m Prepared to work hard, listen, and learn with an open mind.

We hold our rental agents to a high standard and require them to be on time; have the home prepared to be shown as if you are selling it and be prepared to discuss their other options.
