@OP: Imagine a life where your first reaction to receiving a check is "How annoying I now need to drive to the bank to deposit this" ... you'll be one step closer to understanding why that net worth investor is doing what they're doing. 

That is, since assessed value is $6,000 in year 1, 20% increase of $6,000 is $7,200 ($7,200 = $6,000 x 20% + $6,000).Anyways, for this example, lets say your assessed value is $6,000 for your first year.Taxable Value (Exemptions)  Now you know your assessed value (for this example, it is $6,000), next step is to calculate your taxable value. 

They don't know that I dropped out to pursue this dream of real estate investing. 

My question is: Would it be better for me to get the free degree and pursue the CPA first, or take the real estate accounting position that will more directly relate to my dreams of being a real estate investor?

I’m only looking for incremental steps from where I’m at now.

Guys, how many of you buy directly from the Courthouse, these days it is online, not on the steps . lolNobody can find good deals on Hubzi, Hudson, Xome etc. 

I discovered BiggerPockets while researching a novel I'm currently writing in which the main character is pursuing financial independence.

They encouraged me on pursuing this route, but it seems that they don't really know the process of wholesaling themselves.- I have budget of 1000 dollars a month to put on direct mail marketing.- I am working on a website and setting up a phone calling system.Where do you suggest I get my list from?

I got out of the military (9 yrs AD USCG) last spring to pursue my education.

I've owned a 4-plex for nearly 20 years and want to take the next step.
