Plenty of people here are willing to help and guide you.I recommend you attend REI Central and the CHS Circle in October.

These meetups often have tax professionals in attendance.

I'm planning to attend the next meetup with a friend and agent at The Rhu. looking forward to meeting. 

I like your idea of getting involved in my local REIA and was also thinking of some Meetup.com groups here in Vegas I could attend.  

The following worries/confusion I have are:- I can't attend seminars/clubs.

I’ve seen landlords who handle this by requiring tenants to show commitment through actions like attending financial literacy programs before lease renewal, which could help mitigate some of the risks.PS: If you haven’t already, consider working with local organizations that offer financial literacy workshops for tenants as part of lease conditions.

My wife started her master's program, and we can no longer attend because it is midterm week.
