If anybody else has any advice I’d be greatly appreciative. 

My advice (which I am doing now) is offering lower offers on properties that have sat for a while (60-90 days +) and see.

Thanks for your input and advice.

@Mike Paolucci Thank you Mike for the advice and appreciate the transparency!

As someone eager to learn and navigate the complexities of real estate investing, I believe your guidance could provide invaluable direction.I am particularly interested in understanding the best advice you received or discovered throughout your real estate investment journey.

I'm hoping to connect with a reliable CPA that I can build a relationship with to help me get on track with my tax returns but also someone that can provide sound advice as my business grows.

My advice would be to read the Bigger Pockets’ book First to a Million (and the workbook).

As a mortgage expert, my advice would be to ensure the financing aligns well with your plans and goals.

If anyone has advice, I would welcome it!
