@Christian Artuso welcome to the forums and on starting your real estate investing journey.

A cheap place to get to and stay, with good weather and plenty to do, especially for spouses/family that may be less interested in real estate. 

Living in a camper van for 3 years while working remotely is impressive — that kind of adaptability definitely carries over to real estate.

I’m new to the world of real estate and really excited to dive in and learn as much as I can.

Since then New Western has became the fastest growing real estate wholesaler in the country.

I just find our process here, contracts and real estate here much more seamless, which when you're out of state investing, is crucial. 

Read the NC general statute on wholesaling and ask frequent questions to the real estate commission.

@Matthew McleanBigger Pockets is a great place to find an accountant specializing in real estate taxation.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.Consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for an accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

It was a big moment in my real estate journey.
