Hey BP community I recently had a fire inspector come out and say I needed to have my fire escape ladder inspected by a professional on my commercial building. 

I'm looking to start my journey investing in real estate.

Connect with local investors, attend networking events, and leverage online platforms like BiggerPockets to learn, share experiences, and collaborate with fellow real estate enthusiasts.Best of luck on your real estate journey!

I unfortunately do not have assets to leverage but I've paid off a ton of debt over the passed 6 months in preparation for this real estate investing journey.

Do you have real estate professional status?

I would highly recommend leaving electrical and plumbing work to professionals, and your area may even require work to be done by licensed professionals.

Readers are advised to seek professional advice.

This move was motivated by the desire to play tennis professionally, and such lessons involve schedules that are at odds with those of any school other than online.

I'm currently on the same journey and am evaluating the same firms but find that their prices are too high for someone that needs basic 101 accounting and tax strategies for a person that is just starting out.

Accountants are in such demand, that the best are not even accepting clients half the time.The other problem I see often with accountants on here is that they specialize in larger investors, and have really high prices when you as a smaller investor do not need all the bells and whistles.Another thing I see is folks thinking they need to have a tax professional in their state.
