Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen, and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

In general, it is always good to look at the taxable value every year for your property while you still own it when the tax statement comes.If you feel you can support a lower taxable value with sold comparables that are like your property nearby, then it is worth your time to try to dispute the value.It is true there is a very short timeframe to schedule a time to go in and dispute the taxable value with your local property tax assessor usually and the deadline is printed on the annual tax statement.The reality is real estate does not always go up in value.To your success!

Building a true buyers list requires networking and effective marketing channels, especially if you have the capacity to expand beyond your local market.

Unfortunately, I am not local to your area so I would not know of any contractors of cost, but your local meet ups, mentors, or investors could point you in the right way.

@Mark Taleon, first off get a local lawyer who specializes in real estate!

We are newer to the real estate world and looking to connect with local investors, and for off market deals from wholesalers.

You will receive a report as a result of the cost segregation study that supports the breakout between asset classes and new depreciation schedule in the event that you are audited by the IRS.

I'm sure it can be done, but you will definitely have to hire from the local talent pool which is awfully shallow. 

Diversifying your portfolio can protect you in the event that 1 or 2 markets you invest in are losing cashflow or even worse - failing.My theory is to keep your money invested as long as you can and don't take that cash flow for profit.

Success requires thorough screening, clear boundaries, budgeting, networking, and staying informed about local rental laws, and market trends.Good luck!
