Many CPAs work remotely as well, everyone I am in the network with in NYC also has knowledge of out of state taxes as well, especially surrounding tri-state (PA).

Network too with programs in your area that serve low income households.

Invest in yourself and network My first year in the business I put my nose to the grindstone and spent all of my time working on my properties to get them rehabbed and rented.

Bigger Pockets is the only way to go when networking with other investors and getting deals done correctly.

A low-cost option is one offered by National Tenant Network. 

If you don't have employees, that saves you money, but then you are basically living in the coffee shop.I don't know how much you need, but in my opinion, $15,000 isn't nearly enough.I know if I were representing the landlord, I'd want to see that you had a lot more that set aside, unless I was a desperate landlord who was looking for any tenants I could get.I actually have a client with a coffee shop and it's a tough business.I'm not trying to discourage you, I just want you to go in with your eyes wide open.

What's the best way to start your networking what questions do you need to ask?

Hire a pro with a wide angle lens and lighting. also, add a few personal touches: like flowers, pillows, or throws on the couch, etc.  

I look forward to using BP to network and connect with other investors and professionals so that we can learn and grow together in our pursuits of self improvement.
