Do you work with any specialty tax firms to help us small business owners get access to R&D tax credits, cost segregation and other specialty tax credits?

@Michelle Wang"My current lawyer has been somewhat helpful, though the case is progressing far too slowly.

Thanks for your time and help,Melissa   I’m going to provide some alternative advice.  

As for the areas to target, my goal in getting our feet wet as real estate investors--and since we plan to be living in Sac--is to find a property we can live in while renting out one or more units to help cover our housing expenses, which we can then hold and continue to rent out when we move.

@Geoff Engel depending on what amount of available cash you are starting with and what you ultimately want to achieve will help determine your path.

There are spreadsheets that can help (I do not have one).  

We are not the right choice for everyone, but we do help hundreds of investors every year start and progress their investing goals.

Real estate is a slow game, but over time, it can help you build significant wealth.

Thanks for all the helpful info.

But in addition to that, I also connect my tenant buyers with lenders to help them get ready to exercise the option.
