I am looking for a local tax accountant who specializes in real estate investing and preferably owns properties him/herself.

We would prefer to deal with a local private lender who understand this market (Washington DC) and can quickly determine if he or she wants to invest with us. 

I would prefer to have a home warranty in place over paying for the inspection...just peace of mind...even if home warranties are crap...which they kind of are...

Multifamily has been the preferred property type for the last 5 years but Class A has become overbuilt in some areas.

Save it up for the first year and add it to the $2k in case you need to evict.You need to get at least 2 years though, preferably 3-5.

Usually if you're talking about existing PVC pipe you can just as easy put in a new flange, glue in or rubber gasketed.In all cases, yes the flange must come up in height to fit level to (or, preferably, just on top of) the new floor. 

It is my choice to have it that way, not the government's.My two cents. 

In a neighborhood where all my applicants have low paying, undependable jobs I would much prefer to have a SEC 8 tenant. 

They tent to limit your investment choices to conventional investments such as stocks and mutual funds.To set up a self-directed Solo 401k you need a specialty provider firm, there are several of us who actively participate on this forum and can help you.

I would prefer virtual wholesaling in SC first but feel as if I'm held back from "hitting the ground running" in SC because I am physically not there as often, which forces me to search for a trustworthy and reliable team in the area.
