Can somebody please point me to investor friendly tax preparer or CPA in Louisiana (Lafayette or Baton Rough) for service.

You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist who is willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return.

Would I be taxed on that money if I sold the shares and put it into real estate that same year?

Make sure to factor in all expenses such as property taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance, repairs and potential rents. 2.

the dti will include all of your monthly debt obligations on your credit report as well as the mortgage payment you're taking on along with property taxes and insurance 

It may be easier to claim real estate professional status.Have a conversation with your CPA to discuss the benefits and to see if you qualify.

I won’t be looking to re fi those anytime soon because my interest rates are so low with them but when I do my current lender has said they will be limiting how much they will lend based on the properties tax returns. 

Most of what is proposed on Bigger Pockets in terms of layering of entity structures will not prevent plaintiff attorneys from bringing claims.

I know about 1031 exchanges to avoid taxes but not getting a loan against the house to prevent profits.... 

Other than taxes and insurance, I'll assume the best case in that there are no other expenses.
