I run an investment real estate firm here in Orlando, if you would ever like to collaborate in the future.

The ARV was a collaborative effort between my cousin (the financier), the real estate agent and myself.

If you buy a non-owner occupied investment property while, either renting or buying an owner-occupied non-investment property to live in, if your investment property income goes to $0 and you have to prioritize between paying toward the place where you live or the investment property, the investment property is getting the short end of that stick.

I don't think location particularly matters provided they have a strong background in real estate and tools that make it easy to collaborate remotely.

@Aaron Bonne great question as I am starting out, trying to prioritize goals with a new born and the desire to retire with a certain goal in mind, have my kid(s) attend college, and have the ability to retire earlier than 65. 1000k/month to max out Ira 600/ month on top of Ira to meet retirement min. 600/month for college savings PER CHILD (hopefully max at 2 haha) 1500/month to pay my current mortgageNot sure my wife and I would quit our jobs at this point.

I want to prioritize the things that really matter while I am here!

I would prioritize finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation over one that is local.There are 20+ accountants on this message board who specialize in real estate taxation.

I am eager to collaborate with Bigger Pockets contributors to learn more about expanding my business and to get insight on different types of investing.

There is a lot to learn and I am excited about Networking and collaborating with other Investors on BP!

We're very open to sharing and collaborative, despite the immense competition.
