I can highly recommend @Daniel Hyman , CPA and his firm My Online Accountant, LLCI know he and his partner are originally from Houston, and have several clients in Houston.

From reviewing some of the posts online I saw that there is a local REI meetup in Lake Forest this Wednesday evening and I will be attending.  

Surround yourself with as many like minded people as you can be it online and offline.

They dont' need a device if they are going to take only inbound calls, you can just forward the calls to their local cell phone using online vonage tools.

I have Kaplan as one my online ones.

All I could find on here and online was some feedback on his seminars.  

If so I live outside of USA, so can I do this online)?

Is there a way to make an application online and get a copy of the docs from the Riverside county website, or any other way?

Is there a BiggerPockets verion of a general business and franchising forum that anyone knows about.The sites I have found either don't see like there is hardly any traffic or the posters don't offer very good advice.I have a side business that is non REI and if I could find a online community that is as helpful as BD is for REI that would be awesome.
