Once you visit the area and start to meet with potential team members, you will get a better idea of what you are getting yourself into.  

That's gold when it comes to really being able to analyse potential investments.

The added cost might be worth it to potential buyers.

@Ron Fletcher I use Cozy.co for accepting rental applications and screening potential tenants.  

I have been sitting in at the Sheriff Sales and there is someone in town that usually buys most of the decent properties with potential to make any money.  

There is an incredible rise in interest in MF properties (probably from people actually seeing the potential with house hacking, investing, etc.) and they seem to be a good investment.I hope that helps a little bit!

Here’s the catch: because you’re implying that you’re a potential new client, each accountant will gladly spent 5-15 minutes with you on the phone for free.

To add to your first question about getting prequalified -- I can only speak for myself, I prequalify potential clients on a regular basis with the credit report they provide, if they have one. 

I invest in rental property for the sake of my family and my children so that one day when I no longer need to work my W-2 job I don't have to touch my Roth IRAs and they can be passed down to my children and if they don't want to use and we can be passed on again and the potential for millions and millions and millions is possible and all tax-free.

Can you lovely people share with me some info, links, resources, people, etc, to help me build my knowledge and potentially get me going?
