Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

My day job is being a financial professional, so I have good experience with underwriting and sales that I believe can be translated to real estate.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

@Victor Yang To use the rental losses to offset any active income (W2), you'd have meet Real Estate Professional status (which would be difficult to do with a W2 job because you'd have to work more on real estate than any other job to qualify) OR have an AGI of $150K or less.

Here is an example of what it costs you to avoid professional advice.

See my video on this for more info.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.

Unless you qualify as a Real Estate Professional (which has strict requirements), your rental losses can only offset passive income.

I guess that you could call me a 'professional host'.  

Wholesaling real estate is among the hardest possible ways to start out your professional career.
