@Holly RossI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, tax planning and financial planning.

Sam Saad is a great Real Estate Attorney. 

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

I actually had my insurance agent get me a quote before I even called my real estate agent to setup looking at it.All this said, do your market research and you will find a great cashflowing properties if managed properly.

And yet...When someone posts that they will fund 100% of a real estate deal with their private funds at just 6% interest, investors lose their MINDS!!

I'm  Bethany from New Jersey, just learning and breaking into real estate investing and hopeful to purchase my first short term rental property within the next 6 months.   

I'm Ola, from Ireland, passionate about real estate investing, I'm particularly passionate about shortlets and vacation homes rentals/management.Outside of real estate, I enjoy buying & selling, investing, reading, writing and walking.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

For rental real estate purchases, should I be working with a buyer's agent with a strong background in investment real estate?

@Kevin DuongTo achieve financial freedom in real estate, consider house hacking, DSCR loans, partnerships, and seller financing.
