I'd be happy to share some great local meet ups and also open to connecting.

The best advice I can give you when it comes to operating the business is that you need to be local for your first one or few.

I’ve been working with my local credit union for the past few years, so I’ll head there. 

Quote from @Roger Garner: I would talk to people at local real estate meetups, call realtors that do a lot of business, and local property management companies are a good place to get these people from too.Red flags: 1.

Our local real estate agent stated that the forest service is not obligated to extend the lease which would require moving the cabin.

Look into factors like vacancy rates, local job growth, and tenant demand to pinpoint promising markets.Once you find a property, work on running the numbers carefully—factor in purchase price, rehab costs (if applicable), property management fees, and reserves.

I'd love to utilize their expertise when assessing a property since they are local but I'm not sure what the general expectation is when I don't have a tangible property and I have not entered into contract to work with them yet.Some questions I have are: local regulations/permitting timeline, property's potential from their perspective, landscaping/amenities cost estimate (they also help facilitate this).

Listing it “as is” with a $25k rehab concession can attract these buyers.Consider these options:List on investor-focused platforms like Roofstock or BiggerPockets or Facebook Marketplaces, where you’ll find buyers who appreciate tenant-occupied properties.Network with local investors or REI groups in your area to find someone looking for a turnkey rental with upside potential.Hire a real estate agent experienced in selling tenant-occupied properties, but adjust your pricing to cover commissions if needed.Make sure to highlight the stable tenants and ADU potential—those could be big selling points!

Find a local attorney.

From my experience, to succeed in multifamily investing, focus on networking through local meetups, online forums, and professional connections, leveraging your CPA skills to analyze deals and optimize deductions.
