I can't speak for other folks, but on my properties I have my accountant accrue the property tax payment over the life of the property tax period.

Hello everyone, I recently attended a CRE course in my area and the education was absolutely fantastic. 

A good job that stems from education, whether it's college or a trade school or an apprenticeship is in order. 

@Carol Rivers , first i would suggest you get your self more education. podcasts and books. 

The education I received through the podcast was invaluable in giving me the knowledge and confidence to do the first deal.

So glad you've already plugged into the Bigger Pockets podcast - that was a huge source of education for me when I first started.If you haven't already, I would recommend finding a real estate agent that you trust, and also start talking to lenders (banks, mortgage brokers, credit unions, etc.)

That you would like to further your education and be able to, when in conversation, back up your claim.
