If you're interested in working virtually most of the regulars on the tax forums here are REI specizlized and work with clients all over the country. 

I host a great meetup at Joyride Brewery Sloans Lake and the next one is this upcoming week on Nov 17th from 6-9.

Real estate is considered to be a “staple good”, which are specific goods that are consumed by people on a regular basis.

They cannot.Think this through and figure a way to get some 'skin in the game', however small......maybe offer to contribute even $100 a week from your regular job.Then go get some real world experience in the field.....volunteer at a RE office as a gofer, or at a construction jobsite as a clean-up guy....that will impress a lot of people.....Good luck!

We host FREE monthly meetups in Lowell, Waltham, Worcester, and Manchester.

Welcome Jason, if you are interested I host a real estate investor meetup in New Britain every 3rd Thursday of the month.
