Anthony, If you haven't already join a local real estate investing club and start learning from other members who are actually investing in your area.

I'm a new investor looking to invest in my local Dallas/Fort Worth area, and in Oklahoma City.

I planned to assign this property initially for $115,000, but had a major reality check after talking with a lot of local buyers and was lucky to find one who paid higher than my offer price.

Networking through local real estate investment groups or online forums can help you connect with experienced folks who can offer guidance, but also do your own research on the way.

You could sell everything off and live off the cash.You could learn about seller financing and sell your properties over time, collecting payments each month without having to deal with tenants and toilets.Have you looked for a local investor group? 

If I'm in your shoes, I recommend chatting with some local investors (attend a few meetups) to get a good sense of whats possible and not based on others that have a similar W2 scenario as yours. 

I'm looking for local recommendations for an experienced real estate tax accountant/CPA.

I highly recommend that you tune in to the BiggerPockets Podcast and connect with the local lenders and brokers.
