I am looking for some references on a Real Estate CPA in the Delaware/MD/VA/DC Area to help me get on track for optimizing the benefits of running a STR. 

I saw a good candidate for this type of project on Avenida De Las Flores a couple days ago with a detached garage.

You can also look into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)  This might be the best combination of selling tax free and investing in something passive.

Delaware County and Montgomery County have higher property taxes yet lower transfer taxes.

@Oliver De Ausen, thanks for the recommendation!

There is a de minimis amount, which I kinda forgot the limt right now LOL.  

Very clever strategy and niche - sort of blends the benefits of MTRs (premium yield) while de-risking with long term leases and high quality tenants.
