@Sherelle Montague That’s a smart move—especially locking in a property with both units under one loan and using the assistance to keep cash reserves for repairs and surprises.

If you continue working as a tax accountant for the big four in the Boston area, you will likely make $100,000 in a few years.If you want better hours, look to work for a small firm(less than 25 people) and you will likely work 40 hours a week most of the year and 55 hours for like 2-3 months.If you work as an assistant, you will likely make close to minimum wage. 

Any help/assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I see this thread was from 20+ days ago, but I wanted to add from a business-owner perspective, virtual assistants can be very valuable.

I would love to have someone teach me how to flip/remodel while assisting with a project.

Would recommend.I will be using the firm for my 2022 tax return (1040 and 3 LLC's), expensive (about $5k-6k) but given they've assisted with the tax planning I'm hopeful the synergy will provide the best outcome.Happy to answer any add'l questions.Pat  Hi Pat,Just want to confirm, that is HallCPA fee for filling 2022 tax for one 1040 and 3 LLCs?

Quote from @Jules Aton: Hi Noah, the best advice I can offer is work like a maniac now and save money so when you are ready to launch you will have the funds to assist in success.  

Honestly, the best thing you can do at your stage is get exposure however you can — part-time work with a property manager, becoming an assistant for a real estate agent, helping an investor with showings or running numbers, or even working maintenance/leasing for a local landlord can give you real hands-on experience.

@Mark Soreco the other option I would suggest, is to hire a virtual assistant and have him/her handle all your tenant communication, leasing, scheduling and vendor management.
