I tried to use the search tool on here like I have done in the past but the website has so many unfixed bugs that the results are irrelevant or from years ago...

@Alex Tsor no matter where you buy, the copy & paste info below should come in handy.

Over the past few years, I’ve worked with investors to build portfolios of rental and buy-and-flip properties, focusing on both on- and off-market opportunities.I am currently in the process of moving to Ohio and building a new market, which is why I’m new to BiggerPockets.

Who to hire / ballpark:• Real Estate savvy, Tax strategist/CPA for planning • Cost seg study (condo STR): fee depends on size/firm dependent• Estate plan (revocable trust package)• Hourly attorney (LLC/lease/risk)I would suggest start with a 60–90 min tax planning session to map the 12–24-mo plan, then loop in attorney and (if green-lit) cost seg.

I've looked at TN briefly in the past and I didn't dig deep enough to see how the bids are applied to the other outstanding taxes.

They must have lived there for at least two of the past five years to qualify, and any depreciation claimed  during the rental period is taxed separately at up to 25%.

I have 5 single family units at the moment and I have been using a local property insurance broker for the past 2 years.

I am not fully accustomed to all of the loans, taxes, etc. that will go into the structure, but I have wholesaled in the past & no stranger to investing in real estate. 

It’s a little surprising to me since sales volumes are down over the past couple years because more people are choosing/having to rent and we don’t have a large supply of new homes being built in this part of north Gilbert.

The only thing I know how to compare this to is the ETF/mutual fund investing I have been doing for the past 15 years, where the average annual returns have been somewhere around 11% per year.
