New Investor, Questions on Taxes

[CK Fiore]

Hello everyone! I'm new to BP and I am new to investing in rental properties. I was wondering about more information regarding taxes for real estate and if anyone knew of any resources (books, articles, videos) relating to that. I wish to understand the basics of real estate taxes before I get a CPA. 

Also, I'm looking to invest in the Athens, GA area and I'm wondering about how the market is doing there. 

Thank you and I look forward to any replies.
