So, now I’m looking for advice on where a new investor should begin in this community—whether it’s podcasts, books, or even specific forums within BiggerPockets.I am really eager to learn, grow, make and learn from my mistakes, take calculated risks and in short dive into this whole heartedly. 

When I sent a firm message demanding an answer the property manager completely freaked out and called me half crying about how she’s working to leave the company and some huge sob story that was totally unprofessional to ever tell a customer.

3rd party firm?

It's a unique opportunity to combine my passion for real estate with hospitality, and I'm eager to dive into the process, build a portfolio, and create welcoming spaces that generate both income and experiences.

I’m excited to be part of the community and eager to contribute! 

You will also need join CAR at most firms this is $1250 a year.

It is my firm belief that there is a market for every type of layout in the mid term space, especially when you're located in a major city like Chicago.

I’m also very interested in knowing who is selected to be the tax advisor/accounting firm. 

So this is a tricky thing.Accountant's / CPA / Professionals who get paid based on their knowledge and time normally do provide a 'free consulting' call to have a chat with them.However, please be mindful that the 'free consulting' most firms offer is very high level and moreso to see if you both would be a good fit for eachother.Sometimes, these calls are done by the owner(if its a smaller firm) or business development  professionals if the firm is larger.1800-Accountants is a large firm so you are likely first vetted by a non accountant whose main job is to get the sale.Best of luck.

I am a college student set to graduate within the next year, and I’m eager to dive into the world of real estate investment.
