It's not an easy job, but you can earn more as a realtor than most other occupations.

I have always known the power of real estate investing but the navigation of its possibilities personally have been often halted by lack of money and career searching in a financially unreliable industry. 

When I started focusing on larger deals I was able to earn my financial freedom within 3 years, and I didn’t have to be a deal junkie running a hamster wheel in the process

In Ohio or another state where you own property, you likely will only be taxed on the income earned in that state and need to file a nonresident return rather than a resident tax return.Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the "cause of action" arose in that state.

I'm trying to earn some passive income so I don't have to work full-time for 25-30 more years. 

@Andy MirzaI read today from someone in Congress that IRA’s and retirement accounts should never be allowed to invest in private enterprise and that’s what earned income funds are for.

Our long-term goal is to own several homes that produce passive income while we maintain our careers. 

I'm starting my career as a real estate agent and investor and all I need now is a good CPA (that one that loves teaching, answer questions, and explains the numbers) in the Fort Lauderdale Area, FL.Can anyone recommend someone with that characteristics?

I'm not disputing it I'm just saying it's silly from their perspective if they like us to earn money from the place to have a bunch of barriers in place for us earning money for the place we have to tip-toe around. 

@Adam Thomas WeluTurnkey is great for a small percentage of people throughout their investing careers.
