I'm meeting with my accountant now.

I’m excited to be here and meet new people, learn about real estate investing, and hopefully share some success stories down the road!

The VA is a meticulous about the condition of the property as well, so make sure it meets livability standards. 

They conduct weekly meetings and most of the content is rinse-repeat.

(Joining local REIA meet up groups is a great way to network and be around like-minded people doing what you want to do).1.

On the tax side, I would encourage you to partner with a knowledgeable real estate CPA who can guide you through the transaction to ensure you can meet the qualifications of the STR loophole.

See if you can do meetups and meet experienced investors near your city and see if you can get onto  a Joint Venture to get feet wet

Me personally, I’d check the contract and try to meet with both the architect and contractor to find a solution.
