I’m looking to collaborate with others like myself who are starting out and needing help, whether it is actual physical help with a renovation or moral support.

I'm looking to build a team to possibly start investing there.

Congrats on beginning your journey, OH is a great place to start.

I’m just starting my RE journey so I know my taxes aren’t very complicated, but still I wanted to use a professional and invest in proper tax planning from the start.

Another reason to only do it when you have nothing to lose if they sue you for breaking your lease. 

Even though I have no experience other than renting out and managing my first primary home, my interest in real estate pushes me to educate myself upon this topic.With a very high barrier to entry where I live in Northern Virginia, especially for first-time investors just starting out with small budgets, that is why I have been focusing on out-of-state investing in real estate and also have been reading a lot about the BRRRR strategy.

I'm in the Bay Area houses here are very expensive for me to start with. 

My goals are to just get started with at least positive cash flow.

You need to be on top of the channels for people to start recognizing your name.

You will end up losing the deal.You need about six months of networking and active deal flow to create a potential buyer's list and email distribution.However, if the deal is really good (very unlikely in New Jersey), it is true that you can find a buyer.
