What you need is a precise and firm Scope Of Work that details every thing expected during the project.

As you are in need of someone familiar with multi state taxation then you may need a firm that has state tax specialists who can provide you with state tax specific advice. 

They are not as obvious as they are in multi family however they’re very real.My firm completely switched directions and now invest in mobile home parks, self storage, and light industrial.

When I'm at the point where I'm ready to meet with a realtor in my desired market (hopefully very soon *yikes*), I plan on actually visiting the location and touring properties in person. 

I recently read an article that payments made by Zelle, Cash App, Paypal, etc in excess of $600 or $6000/yr will be reported to the IRS and a 1099 issued from the paying firm to the recipient.

Mainly the whole idea of a bank being able to foreclose on a property/debt that they are not getting paid on, sell that property to me to clear themselves from the less then desirable situation and then we find out that the foreclosure might not have been done right but, in the meantime my hard earned money that I have saved up my whole life and the equity I have built in my primary property (Heloc) to be in a situation where I could buy a house cash is locked up in a legal loophole but I still have to pay the water bill, property taxes, interest on my heloc all the while the person who has not paid their mortgage for the last 2 years gets rewarded by not having to pay it for another year.
