Numbers wise, the entire population of Harrisburg visits Honolulu every 3 days.

She charges me $15 per visit - and she visits about once or twice per month. 

I regularly visit OKC and Tulsa as I have family there and have my eyes set on that market as well.

Have a few properties I'm going to visit next week and will hopefully put in a few offers.

He's open to it, but warned that it almost guarantees an audit and requires added 'precision' on our part -- which could mean IRS headaches if we ACCIDENTALLY/UNKNOWINGLY did something out of bounds or didn't document something correctly, etc.My conclusion is if you're doing 'simple' SFHs, and/or you're not an LLC, or anything 'special' a CPA who specializes in Taxes and REI work would do the job, an EA who's good with REI would likely be better; but, if you want to do anything unique/creative, or outside the box or also wish to then have the business succession planning or have kids and want to have the business continue should anything happen to you...and all that added planning, maybe a tax lawyer would be best, or a Tax Layer who works closely with the CPA/EA...make sense?

I am in a unique situation though and i will explain.

Hi Collin,In addition to what others have already said about Zillow, there's no way in the world that Zillow's algorithm is taking into consideration the unique 2 homes / 3 units configuration of that property and doing accurate comps.Zillow is by no means a "starting point" unless your property is 100% vanilla for the neighborhood. 

Seriously need to go and visit your properties, I don't see where you would not have ANY maintenance for 6 months.

I went the easy route by visiting LegalZoom.com.

We were thinking 100k but if we need 25% or 30% then we will visit that as it comes up.
