Accountants are in such demand, that the best are not even accepting clients half the time.The other problem I see often with accountants on here is that they specialize in larger investors, and have really high prices when you as a smaller investor do not need all the bells and whistles.Another thing I see is folks thinking they need to have a tax professional in their state.

One advantage you'll have over people doing a regular FHA purchase loan (non 203k FHA rehab loan) is that when you go towards purchasing a 3-4 unit property and have to deal with " FHA Self Sufficiency," Rule you'll be able to use future market rents that are appraised on with after repair rents (way higher than your acquisition rents probably).This makes it easier to make your FHA loan qualify especially if you buy a good deal that has big rental income upside (your proforma future rents are way higher than your acquisition entry rents).FHA SS rule is required to qualify a FHA loan when its a 3-4 unit property, this doesnt apply to 1-2 unit FHA loans.Even on 203k FHA loans you'll need to meet FHA SS rules (3-4 unit applies to).
