@Keaton VolsTo expand your real estate portfolio and achieve financial growth, consider refinancing your property, saving for a down payment, implementing house hacking, partnering, exploring markets, building a network, educating yourself, diversifying into alternative investments, maximizing tax benefits, and maintaining an emergency fund.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

I will talk to a CPA but just trying to educate myself.

Not sure I agree with that title, especially after all the 'gurus' seem to get bashed on BP just because they provide a service/education to people for money.

It's unfortunate that many of us getting lured into buying these educational programs.

Check out the Georgia Real Estate Investors Association, gareia dot com, for local networking and education. 

Dave Meyer is probably the closest to give a reasonably educated answer to that one. 

Educate.

So I suppose you now have to "educate" the New York Post that they don't have any clue what Communism is either....

Inexpensive and you have access to education resources and the best part is networking with other broker/owners in the facebook group where you can really accelerate learning.
