Hey @Mathew Mathew, To help you in your search: be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.

By that I mean, In addition to buy and hold she would like to always at least be flipping one deal that makes sense.

Additionally, I have many years' experience in construction and home inspection, and I personally inspect every property with my agent before buying.

When my daughter looked into tankless, they told her they could install it outside (couldn’t work out venting inside) but it would require additional maintenance, so they just went traditional.

There are also often incremental fees that will lower your returns on these types of investments: property management and building fees most notably.

Does anyone use a general contractor to estimate your rehab costs for a fee? 

If they do more damage you simply add it to the bill.

Additionally, If anyone would be willing to have a conversation about what they look for in CPA's and what they learned financially starting in the rental investing business I would greatly appreciate it! 

By rich I mean they completed an application, paid the screening fee and we show that their income is sufficient to cover all of their own expenses plus pay for rent and any damages at the unit we are renting their child.

Refinancing can allow you to pull out equity, providing you with additional funds to use for the down payment on a new property.Look into financing options for purchasing a duplex.
