Also, I would definitely use a property manager (I can refer a great company, if needed) for your rentals. 

I am not finding what you refer to. 

H&R Block software prompts me: "When you stop using a property for income, if you didn't sell the item, you may be able to write off any remaining basis" which then refers me to fill out form 4797.

When I refer to using sales people it is to fill lots with new homes.

If anybody knows a good cpa they can refer to me I would really appreciate it!

For reference, both of us have an excellent credit score and my husband renovates homes.

I am bilingual and work with English and Spanish speaking clientele so was hoping to find someone I could refer ppl to when necessary.

Or when I asked her about pets, she tells me they have none, but yet there are multiple FB posts about a cat and she explicitly makes a reference about owning a cat - I shouldn't believe this either? 

Brent Shryock I think you're referring to secondary/tertiary markets.

But going back to @Jeff Sprunger comment, does skin in the game specifically refer to liquid cash that you personally have available to use for the project, or could that also include personal loans taken out in your name to show that you have a vested interest in the success of the project?
