Hello everyone, I am just starting out in Real Estate and I am looking for some advice on how to get started.

Also, can anyone recommend a solid accountant for everyday investors who can provide reliable advice and is reasonably priced?

Some people say, "No, all the investors will flood back in".. which is true, but so will all the sellers... and I think it will more or less balance each other out.  

The current house if 1800 sqft and is going for approximately $500 per square foot.  

I definitely have and I love this area as well.

And is that where your also planning to invest?

Hello,I am thinking about using a DSCR loan for my first rental property, and I know a Conventional loan cannot be used on distressed properties.

I have a very odd situation:I basically bought a house for a friend of mine about a year ago and gave him a 5% interest only loan for the entire purchase/closing/renovation costs.Both he and I would like him to get more permanent financing.But, he does not have a social security number. 

She is still being nitpicky about things and I am hoping for advice on how I can tell her no about unnecessary repairs.
