In giving you a summary of my story, I mean to encourage you to follow your instinct and be a bit patient with the situation, because as everyone will tell you, you'd rather keep a vacancy for some time than have to deal with an eviction later.I found the form with the pre-screening questions very useful.

Very often I meet real estate investors who chose to go with a $200 tax return filing accountant who costed them thousands and tens of thousands of dollars in mistakes like miscalculated depreciation, missed deductions, miscalculation of capital gains when selling the property and so on.I understand you don't want accounting fees to eat all of your profits, but I simply encourage to factor what you're getting from your accountant, weigh it against the price and find the combination that works for you.

I really encourage you to have faith in your abilities and if you find areas you'd like to improve in then pursue guidance but I'm excited for your first deal, don't let yourself keep you from making the future you want!

@Greg Raymond If real estate is your passion, you are better off spending time with people who will reinforce and encourage you in the right direction.
