I'm a local wholesaler, STR investor and generally curious real estate dude. 

I'd be happy to talk w/you on the phone and maybe meet some time for coffee. 

I’m Jay Papsan, instructor for Principles of Real Estate on Coursera.

Real estate has long been the foundation of lasting wealth, proven by historical and modern moguls alike.

@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.

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

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.

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! 

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