I wish you all the best and plenty of success on your real estate journey! 

You may want to consider investing there if you know the area well.I would put Agents, Wholesalers, Lenders, Property management companies, contractors before you try to find a CPA / financial advisor / attorney.Best of luck to you in your journey!

Looking forward to this journey and making some connections along the way.Travis Nevill

Hello everyone, My name is Steven Jimenez and I'm excited to begin my real estate journey and join the Bigger Pockets community.

While you may have to pay (as I do with mines), you will quickly learn there is a major difference between a free group of people who chat occasionally vs a group of paid members who feel they have an obligation to bring value to one another on a constant basis.Good luck on your journey!

Their are numerous funding companies and lenders who will support your journey.

Welcome again to bigger pockets, and congratulations on starting your journey. 

Hi @Mike GonzalezFeel free to have a look at my FilePlace on BP, I've recently uploaded a few excel spreadsheets that can probably help you in your real estate investing journey.
