.- Affordability: Wage growth has lagged cost of housing growth in the U.S. over the past 35 years.

I would love to find an area, that still has affordable opportunities. 

A lot of forum members are very knowledgeable in their respective fields related to real estate investing, whether that is real estate sales, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance.Discounts on some products and services are offered to BP members: https://www.biggerpockets.com/perks/proIf you haven’t been to it already, you might want to check out the BP blog: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members.

For the latter, my current plan is to focus on areas where there is a growing millennial population and a need for affordable housing. 

They need work, but seem to be affordable.

Right now driving for dollars is probably the most productive. 

I had several clients from states like California where buying property in their home state was prohibitively expensive, but they could afford a decent property here. $500k won't buy you much in San Fran but is a pretty healthy budget in Jax.One smaller factor is that Duval county doesn't charge impact fees on new construction (and is the only county in Florida that does not) which is great for developers but not so great when there's no money for maintaining our schools.https://www.jacksonville.com/news/20190423/duval-voters-to-decide-on-proposed-sales-tax-referendum-to-pay-for-replacing-repairing-renovating-schoolsAlso this isn't Florida or Jacksonville specific, but in times when the stock market is particularly volatile real estate investing becomes more appealing even with lower returns.Personally as an investor I find all this out-of-town investing a bit annoying (increased competition and increased prices) and am concerned that these properties potentially aren't well maintained.

My problem is affording something in those $1500/mo areas.

Hi, I’m looking for a reputable Tax Accountant who works with international investors to set up and maintain LLC, read some horror stories about the DIY off the internet LLC’s which cost investors big time.I contacted Corporate Direct and they are rather costly which I can understand being one of Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Advisors, so I’m hoping to find someone who can offer the same at a more affordable rate considering I’ll be starting our with 1 property a year and that would preferably be a Turnkey option.
