Where to go from here?

We took the plunge and cash purchased our first BRRRR in March of last year via online auction using funds i withdrew from my 401k with the Care act which allowed the max withdraw of $100k. We remodeled the home and our son who is a new father moved in and we rent it to him and his girlfriend. We don't make hardly anything because it's helping our family out which is fine. We got our feet wet, learned alot, and intend to pull our money back out (the velocitiy of money) to continue our real estate investing career through home mortgage or heloc, not sure which way to go. Some of my sticking points are finding a tax advisor, strategist in my area. We currently rent a lakehouse home very cheaply nearby we love and have never lived in the home we purchased, though the water and sewer are still in our name. Since the home we purchased is our only home we own do we claim it as our primary residence even though we rent it to our son or do we need to claim it as rental property? Who should we be searching for to answer questions such as these and how would be begin to find such a person or people in our area? Any insight greatly appreciated.

    After interviewing hundreds of successful real estate investors, I believe the biggest, most important step you can take early on is to define your why. Why are you investing in real estate? What is powerful enough to motivate you to go out and find that next deal?

    I'd also suggest you add your location to your BP profile so we can see where you are! There are, most likely, many other investors in your area active on BP who can help you out with a recommendation. But we need to know where you are!

    Lastly, I recommend you join local networking groups. Many of them have gone online and are still meeting in that way. If you ask for local tax advisor recommendations in a group filled with local, successful investors, you'll probably get a few great recommendations!

    Thank you Taylor,  

    I have made the appropriate changes per your suggestion.  I also added a little bit of my "whys" to my profile.

    I appreciate your help.
