Brand new to BiggerPockets and even as a new memeber and new to REI I am excited to be among fellow real estate enthusiast as the site continues to grow and improve!

We have meeting for brand new investors, flippers, multi family, women investors, landlords and more.

I think my position is a bit more complex than your average investor since:1) I am brand new and have been shopping for a good CPA to no avail for a month.2) I need to shelter risky assets as best as possible (which may include anonymity)3) I am looking to aggressively expand over the next 12 months into different states for short-term rentals, which have volatile regulations.4) My expected income for 2018 has a very wide band thus leaving room for the need for constant advice and dynamic planningThanks so much for any thoughts.
