I have been working doing exterior home improvement for the last 3 years and also know how to do basic plumbing and electric so was planning on doing a lot of the work myself.

My financial situation now allows it, so I am looking for as much information as I can to get started.

I've just learned that the only winning strategy to combat fear is to constantly learn and improve.

Those areas have upside as they improve.

Working together for financial independence. 

@Brandon Borah, I'm not 100% certain if they do it or not but try Chris Pisano at MJW Financial. 

I do not know your area, but some areas just do not make good financial sense for renting single-family houses.

Closing time came and the closing costs were higher than their financial analysis ($9k vs $7k).Next stepsI just closed the purchase a couple days ago so I'm waiting for the contractor to tell me the schedule of the rebab and ask for a deposit.

Endless financials, tax returns, and questions from guys sitting behind a desk that have never ran a business, risked capital, sold a product.

You need to look at it this way.Not all Bookkeepers are Accountants and not all Accountants are CPAs.Bookkeepers are typically just data entry with a little knowledge of accounting.Accountants typically have a degree in AccountingCPAs are licensed.Not all CPAs know real estate and that goes with Accountants too.A few times I had to teach a CPA to learn how to book certain items correctly.You want someone that show you the financials and break it down to you in details.
