Look for a CPA or expert who is expert and experienced with self Direct IRA because IRS already changing some of tax code targeting people like you who is investing real estate.  

Hi all, my husband and I are looking for a real estate friendly CPA in D.C.

I am networking and constantly learning at the moment.

Tony,I'm just starting out myself and I've begun networking with realtors in the area.  

I am looking to build a multifamily portfolio and network with those who have first-hand experience.

Start networking locally.

Hi all,I have seen a lot of networking events for investors marketed here, on MeetUp, etc.  

They are not becoming the authority in their market.. they are just another face among the thousands of other realtors/investors.The absolutely best advice is to start building your network (other agents, title companies, management companies, investors, mortgage brokers etc...).

This is a great place to network.
