I am considering getting my realtor license as an entry point in my investment journey mainly to gain a broader understanding of how all the pieces fit.

I think it's due to the fact that my personal taxes are pretty typical and are covered in detail on the IRS website; but my business taxes are very narrow (partnership LLC, rental property only, etc.) and so I have to trudge through much broader topics that don't apply to me to get the nuggets of info that are useful.Does anyone have links to resources that are a step-by-step walkthrough of how to do rental property LLC taxes?  

Additionally, going with a non-local CPA will give you access to a broader pool of CPAs allowing you to find one that has the necessary expertise to serve your needs.If you feel like you must use someone local, contact your state's CPA board and ask for a referral.

But we keep that to a minimum.So to your question:  local for me is the broader DFW metroplex - 60+ miles//easily an hour's drive. 

"and or assigns" is much broader than just wholesaling. it's legalese for "someone may act in my position just as I might have done".

I have found that the larger loans are usually easier to do just because the economy scale makes these deals more attractive to a broader range of lenders.Nicolas Paez

Although long term buy and hold is my primary interest at this point, I am trying to absorb as much as I can on the broader range of topics available here.I openly welcome any and all advice from the BP community and hope to utilize the wealth of information that appears to reside here.Cheers!

Joined bigger pockets to extend to a broader network.  

By seeking out non-local CPAs, you expose yourself to a broader pool and therefore a higher possibility of finding someone specialized in real estate investing.

I would recommend thinking about your goals in a broader sense, and not letting the easy-money argument take you away from a strategy that better defines your lifestyle.
