I have classmates working in CPA firm, but not specialized in real estate, and they actually told me the wrong info.

It starts with a self-directed IRA held by a custodian, but the IRA simply makes one investment into a specially designed LLC entity.

If so, there are 20+ CPAs and accountants on this site that specialize in real estate taxation.

I see you are a contractor, what do you specialize in?

@Hai Loc thats right so geowarehouse needs special access that i don’t have?

But middle eastern countries and Asian countries where the predominant race is their own people (example China), they are much more likely to work with local people who specialize in this field as opposed to a foreigner who doesn't speak their language.In the case you are familiar with another country and can speak another language.

Obviously, the best approach would be to map out all the interior CapEx items and their expected useful life.One more thing to keep in mind: exterior CapEx might be "covered" by your HOA fees, but if the HOA isn't well managed or there's a big unexpected expense, you might get his with a special assessment.

Howdy Investors,For a side project I'm working on, I'd love to interview investors who mentor new investors or work with deal finders (bird dogs). 

There was a national group (not the FEA) that specialized in simultaneous swaps which is more of an archaic art form of the 1031. 

When you do become licensed I think that working with other investors as an investor’s agent or joining a team that specializes in investment properties is the best direction to go.
