I would love to connect with you and bounce ideas off of each other if you are open to it.

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊

But yes, you should have a CPA, and the one smart enough to properly prepare your taxes over the years should have an easy handle on this too.

Feel free to reach out to connect or jump on a call.

I would connect with a local realtor to get some opinions 

As far as good/bad neighborhoods I would connect with someone in the area who knows it better than I.

I'm starting to build my network in the US, so feel free to connect, I'd be more than happy to chat!
