I am trying very hard to get started, I just dont want to jump in head first and fall on my face.

The other rentals we have are easy to do but this property is over my head on the tax issues.

I just had this idea, come to my head, that if I went to school for home inspection and for appraisal, then I wouldn't have to hire anybody to do it for me, when trying to make deals.

Now that I analize my purchase I just hang my head.

I am located in NYC, and would like to get involved with a good local REI group or maybe even a few. Any advise on where I can find them, or does anyone know of a good one? I have tried searching quite a bit but most ...

I'm in Louisiana and use the Louisiana Press Association's website.

We want to manage it ourselves and pay a gardener and a handyman to take care of everything on that end.We understand that there may be instances when the handyman isn't available and we'll need to head to the property - not a problem since my work schedule is very flexible.Is there a reason that I should not manage it myself from that distance?
