You have to choose between trusting your current CPA or consulting with other CPA's.

@Matthew Charron I do hope someone takes you up on your offer.In case no one does though, I'd recommend you attend a local real estate investor group like Black Diamond REI in southern Mass. or RI Real Estate Investors Group in RI.You'd want to engage several people in conversation, particularly during the times at the beginning and end of the meetings when folks typically network, and maybe ask a few folks out to coffee.Many people look for "mentors", and that might work for you, but another approach to consider would be just to try making friends with people who are one or two steps ahead.So maybe they're not successful full-time investors (the Holy Grail of Mentor-seeking), but instead own one or two rental properties, or have done one or two successful flips, or really anything in one of the directions you want to go.I find that can be easier to achieve, and you can get a lot out of it because such folks are very familiar with the challenges you face - after all, it wasn't long ago they were at that same point themselves.

Networking and leaning builds your net worth.

Hello BP community. I am a newbie in real estate investing. I am looking to meet other investors in my area that flip homes. Currently, I am trying to enroll in a class to become a RE agent this way I can list the hom...

Since you wanted tips, this might help:1) Attend your local REIAs and network, you need to build a buyer list of investors that will buy your properties and network with other people in our industry.

I have a few jobs: I do some bookeeping, budgeting, and business consulting for a local architect, I work at at CPA firm during tax season, and I own a little side business with my friend doing pressure washing and sealing driveways, patios, sidewalks, etc.

Hey BP Network!

Get in there talk to people and just network and find some future cash buyers hopefully !

We've distributed our initial round of PPMs, mostly to our network of friends & professional acquaintances, and I'd like to expand this effort and find others who'd be interested

Second, you can network with any real estate investor both new and experienced.
