I'm new to the Bigger Pockets community and look forward to learning a great deal from all of you!

Hi, I'm relatively new to Bigger Pockets.

@Wilfredo RomanWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

I've been out of the MS office game for a long time. 

@John Holandez Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

Some numbers for your perusal:Purchase price: 70kLand value plus shop 35kMoney this house could easily eat before all is said and done in fixing it $70KValue if we poured $70K into this house  $120-130K todayValue as-is  $55KRent the house could fetch if we dropped $5K into it  $800/moExisting mortgage $622/month pitiCould refinance to a piti of $500/monthI ran a scenario where, if I dropped $10k to stabilize the condition of the house and $25k to convert the garage to a studio apartment (rent for $300), it would be around 10 years before I could break even.Thanks for any advice or insight you can offer as you play the what-if game with me.

I'm a SD resident entering the game and buying two SFH's in the KC, MO suburbs and am looking for recommendations on local (San Diego) CPAs that specialize in REI, and specifically have a knowledgeset for investors with holdings outside California.In addition, as someone starting out with their first holdings, any recommendations on things to specifically knock out right off the bat with my new CPA would be much appreciated!

I can only imagine, but figured I'd start by joining Bigger Pockets.
