@Josh Butler Directly out of college I owned two bed and breakfasts back to back for 24 years.

It is currently sitting on a corner lot from a local college.

I suggest that you start attending REIA,(Real estate investment association), meetings in your area.

College friend was supposed to move in and bailed.

That can not last forever of course and all good things must come to an end.Not sure if I answered your question, but that is the best I can do with my college drop out mind. - Great question.  

So I'm keeping an eye on College Park & East Point, areas that haven't be completely gentrified yet thus more fixer-upper options are available.

Below are some tips to find a Local CPA that specializes in real estate1) Attend a Local REIA / Real Estate meetup and see who other investors are using as a CPA2) Network with other investors from your City/State that you find on bigger pockets and see who they use as a CPA3) Look for CPA's with good google/yelp reviews where 'real estate' is mentioned in the review.4) Verify that your CPA is licensed.

I left biglaw earlier this year to take an in-house job with a (MUCH) better lifestyle but lower long-term earning potential.Household Income: $365 guaranteed, $440 if I hit my bonus and include our rental (bonus is a target of $60k but is not guaranteed, rental grosses $15k though we net less after taxes/expenses)Net worth: $1.15M: Cash-$390k, Equity in existing rental (out of state)- $200k, college savings $30k and retirement accounts - $520k, no debt (both cars owned outright and rental doesn't have a mortgage).Current Housing – We live in a HCOL where we rent a 2bd/2ba condo for $3.1k.

I wanted to reach out in the BP Forum to see if anyone new of any REI Meet-ups or Events in or around the Cookeville, TN area that I could join or attend!

If I remember correctly, Brandon discussed about hiring a high school or college student to drive for dollars and paid them per property.
