If I were to start my own fast food burger spot, with full faith and extraordinary effort, I too would still succeed, I believe.

I'm not saying that anyone deserves poverty, and who knows what extraordinary challenges an individual might have faced in their lifetime, but in the U.S. poverty often represents the summation of an individual lifetime of choices and is does not always reflect the presence of insurmountable obstacles.This decision is yours to make because you have sacrificed to put yourself in the position that you have.

I'd check out a few of the posts and see how their interaction and tax knowledge fits with what you are trying to do, then I'd schedule a consult to see if your personalities would allow you to work well together.https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/5926/41216-does-my-cpa-have-to-be-localSecondly, as you grow, you may want to eventually move into having properties in an LLC, but with your first property you may be able to limit your liability with great insurance coverage while allowing you to get the best financing with investments in your personal namehttps://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/5926/53215-questions-as-common-as-the-cold---llc

And I'd really like to see sellers get what they want out of our interactions even if I'm not the buyer.

It has been a pleasure gaining information and interacting with all of you.

In addition to our real estate holdings, we've also got a full service contracting business that primarily deals with other investors.My goals for interacting in the BiggerPockets community is to learn more about strategy around capital gains (as opposed to long term rentals), to gain a network of people that can facilitate deal flow and to offer construction services to other investors.
