AJ, let's connect. I'll touch base via DM

Great question. I don't have boots on the ground in any other state and I don't know where to begin to build an out-of-state team. That's a direction I want to move.

Do you have thoughts on how to begin recruiting out of state?

Is there precedence for working with a CPA and an EA? Do I have to pick one?

Apparently this is a question that gets asked a lot.  That means I'm in the right place!

Excellent advice, Gentlemen. Thank you!

Hey BP Crew! I'm a Registered Nurse in Portland, OR. I gave myself permission to turn desire into action last November during that 90-Day Challenge. Beardy Brandon laid out the steps and I'm following the steps.

If you're in Oregon then I'm going to be looking for you. The only RE meet ups in my immediate area are either people getting together to play Cash Flow or Syndicate scams looking for "Partners."

See you around! Stay healthy.

I was recently on the phone with my CPA. When he found out I was on the cusp of purchasing my first investment property he flipped out. Have you ever seen an introverted, analytic-type personality get emotional? It was unexpected to say the least. Apparently he tried real estate himself once and it went horribly wrong. He spent 80% of our 1-hr meeting trying to talk me out of it. I know he meant well.

I want a watch dog on my team, but I want that watch dog to be supportive of my rational, educated choice to move into REI. I won't surround myself with people who will inadvertently hold me back. So I'm stepping away from this relationship and on the hunt for a new one. Am I being unreasonable?

Recommendations please. How would you suggest I find a RE-supportive CPA?

Thanks in advance for your help. I'm open to feedback.

Just dabbling. I was recently widowed at the time and was looking for a source of stable income. The owners' are refinancing so I'm getting a lump sum. Buy and Hold is the next step.
