There are networking opportunities with the group after these meetings as well but it seemed like mainly people in the program and not experienced capital raisers that are there by design (but I could be wrong).  

There are many folks, including myself, in this forum that can help and the more info you can provide (mainly numbers on the property), the more we can help you.

I’ve mainly been looking at duplexes, but I’m definitely open to properties with ADUs, in-law suites, or finished basements if they make sense for house hacking.

I use the TX bookkeeper @Chris Seveney is referring to for my main entity, but I use WaveApps for all my other entities, and they have a free plan, and also a wizard that can help you set up your chart of accounts.

The main questions to yourself are: How much time do I want to dedicate to this?
