There are many CPA's on this site that work with clients remotely.In the meantime - feel free to ask any tax related question.

I even explored the posibility of selling a kidney.Be carful most new investors fail not because they can not buy the property they fail because they do not have the cash reserves to carry the property.

Zillow has always been one of those "too good to be true" for me in terms of lead generation because if it were that easy, why are over 90% of agents still failing within 1-2 years of starting?

I will definitely look into affordability within CA, the 203k option (how prominent those are in my area), as well as continue to educate myself with the greater minds found on this site in the forums! 

I have, however, a somewhat close relationship with the landlord I've rented from for the 8 years previous to buying my house, so somewhat familiar with the in's and out's and frustrations of rental properties.I'm just getting my toes wet and listening to YouTube videos, podcasts, reading content on the site, etc.

@Emanuel Cavallin, you may have better luck posting this in a different forum on the site.

I came across this awesome site while researching real estate investing and the many different topics associated with it.

If you can't find someone on the site, I recommend running numbers on trulia and seeing what pops up there.

When advertising a property for rent, I link directly to the listing on that site and prospective tenants pay the $40 fee.
