Hey forum, Need some help.

You certainly don't have to live there first, but what you are doing now is not helping you.

I’m 18 fresh out of high school, I’m trying to start a real estate investing company and I need a lot of guidance, any help is greatly appreciated.

That definitely helps.

QBO is nice because any accountant or bookkeeper should be extremely familiar, plus it automatically pulls bank accounts, which saves some time. 

The bank screwed up and made me pull out of the deal. 

Perhaps what you might consider doing before investing the amount being asked is decide if you want or can assemble a similar list of professionals to help with your activities!

I could do all cash with perhaps some help from family (less than $15k) or friends/partners (one has asked me to find something he could join in on with $20k, the other serious one has about $35k-$50k to invest with me). 

I put together a few resources for investors to help them understand the good areas and bad areas, what to look out for, and what to avoid.

Thanks for the help.
