Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

To qualify for a loan, focus on having a credit score of at least 620 (or 580 for FHA loans), keeping your total monthly debt under 43% of your income, and saving enough for a down payment and closing costs—about 5-10% of the home's price in total.

Rentals also build equity through tenant payments and appreciation, with profits taxed at lower long-term capital gains rates when sold.

Some companies allow property owners to select tenants and set the screening criteria...We do not - our criteria does not bend. 

They have decent rental markets, and there are options where you could get in with a 20% down payment.

Tenants in lower Classes will have lower credit scores, which means higher chance of defaulting on their lease payments.

Does a DSCR loan require 20-25% down payment?

I finally understand that credit card payments are exempt from needing to send 1099's.
