@Alex PenaI recommend finding local meetups to attend. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521I have found all of my best connections at local meetups.Ill be at the beers and deals meetup tonight!

For $4500 a month I can do a lot of marketing and for sure find two off market deals.The two I spoke to was super cool agreeing with me that the numbers were difficult.Ive used the Zillow leads in the past (I think it was $350 a month for a 6 month contract in 2020) and did not convert a single lead.

I recommend that you learn the tax code and take ownership over your strategy.Not having some foundational knowledge and an opinion on how to approach taxes as a business owner is a huge mistake.In my experience, every single business owner who says "I just let my CPA worry about it and I focus on my business" is doing a suboptimal job at tax planning.They are likely missing out on 10s or hundreds of thousands in saved dollars every year.Stop making excuses and get to work.Just a few months of part-time learning about taxes will pay you for the rest of your career.

I feeling that running into obstacles that are making the goal overly delayed.I guess I send this message in hopes of help for  words of wisdom or encouragement.
