I was thinking of putting someone else as the buyer but my compliance department said if I guide them in any way or tell them what to do I would be acting as a broker.

Hi there,My husband and I recently purchased a property with a ton of stuff that I thought was trash, but is actually valuable. 

I signed up as a pro member of BP, joined a webinar by @Brandon Turner, analyzed a potential deal, have been listening to 1 podcast per day for 6 days a week, have been reading BP articles, started reading BP's The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Real Estate Investing and Building Wealth One House at a Time, bought 4 BP books, created my BP profile, talked with a California real estate agent, talked with an Indiana real estate agent in referral, talked with a friend who's a real estate investor, asked friends for real estate agent referrals (even out of state like Nevada, Chicago and Tennessee), etc.Bottom line is I'm super pumped about real estate investing :) Just in case anyone is curious, I'm looking for a team of mentors, real estate markets outside of California markets, real estate agents, mortgage brokers/loan officers, real estate attorneys, property managers, contractors, insurance agents and handymen.

For example if I came prepared with the details of the deal I just finished to at least show them I’m not a complete newbie would that be valuable or would that come off as naive because it’s not the same type of investment as a 5-20.

Who’s guiding you on this?

Either one should be able to guide you well. 

The point is, I know the area well and I'm already 1 or 2 degrees away from the most valuable players in the game here. 

Good contractors are valuable. 

I like to network and build valuable relationships with any performing buyers I come in contact with . 

I am in need of a seasoned/experienced accountant to guide me in the process and also that could help me clean up my books to better track where all my money is going.
