Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Recently, the President of my brokerage, REAL, created a video explaining the changes to the real estate world.

I started in real estate as an agent in 2009 with Keller Williams.

@Michael CsrnkoI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Additionally, since we handle leasing for these properties, a broker's or real estate license is necessary.However, a broker's license is not required if you manage properties that you own jointly with investors.

I am considering using my next bonus to begin real estate investing.

Opened another checking/credit card for just real estate expenses, and deposit tenant and our portion of payments into that account.

Hey everyone, I was researching financial and real estate podcasts aside from bigger pockets that discuss the market condition in the US (and maybe the world).

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).
