But your accountant doesn't necessarily have to be local to you with the technology these days.

I am a graduate of Wentworth Institute of Technology with a Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, and I have been doing construction all my life, so I have pretty good knowledge of the construction side of things, but not so much on the real estate/development side. 

I am a geek living in St Paul, MN, who has been managing computer technologies in the real estate arena.

About me: I am in another industry today--Technology sales--but Ive owned properties and rentals in my past.

Technology has closed this gap pretty well.

One more thing - do any of you work for KW and if so, I know they offer websites and a mobile app in their technology package but does KW have its own CRM software like Podio, RealGeeks, etc.?

I have a technology background & recently just became a commercial drone pilot, however I want to become my own boss and invest in myself. 

Having a strong technology background I found BiggerPockets during one of my searches and immediately joined.

Technology makes this much easier today.

Now I work for a company outside of Charlotte, NC that has some pretty cool real estate technology that we have made available to the general public.
