I am thinking about doing this full time and was wondering if there was a coach/professional i could speak with to give me an honest assessment on my current real estate portfolio?

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

I’m a professional civil engineer with years of experience in construction and entrepreneurship.

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

It may be worth having an experienced professional helping you and you could always try to get the seller to pay your agent’s fees.

Focus on tax-saving strategies such as cost segregation studies and bonus depreciation to accelerate deductions.By qualifying as a Real Estate Professional (spending 750+ hours annually and materially participating), you can offset your wife’s S-Corp income with real estate losses, reducing your tax liability.

Can this person now be "a real estate" professional? 

Quote from @Michael James Hamlin: We just moved to Baldwin county and we are looking to network/partner up with other professionals in new construction, fix and flip or commercial.

Game changer for active investor looking to get more passive investments, busy professional looking to diversify in real estate, individual investor looking to get into commercial or larger assets. 

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