@Ross DerouenBigger 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.

I like DealMachine because you can literally drive or walk for dollars on the app in real time and all contacts are skiptraced with pro.But, you also want to make clear why you want to find off-market deals.

It is hard and will be a full time time job to do it right. 

I got started by moving from Portland OR to Columbus Ohio and started full time real estate investing here and started with house hacking/multifamily as well. 

Also, jumping into real estate straight out of high school is amazing! 

Very repeatable and much less time intensive than actually owning the real estate in most cases.

I'm looking to get started in wholesaling commercial real estate.

Quote from @Robert B Azimi: A restaurant that’s doing great business feels he shouldn’t pay the rent on time for the last 4 months every month we had to post 3 day notice to pay  rent or quit on his front door for him to deign to pay his rent What legal action we could take to make him understand he is not the landlord we are he must pay his rent on time?

In real estate, you need to start doing sooner rather than later to be successful. 

If you're new to real estate investing and looking to get the best value, I'd suggest considering **house hacking** using an **FHA loan**—it can be a great option for first-time buyers.
