Looking for all referals - new investor by "Accidental Landlord"
Hi everyone, I am just about to get my feet wet with renting out a 3bd 2.5bath townhouse that I reside in. We are upgrading to a single family home and decided to rent out the townhouse so we wouldn't lose money if we sold because there has been no appreciation since we purchased 5 years ago (and this is a new development so they are still building).
Upon researching how to be an accidental landlord I stumbled upon biggerpockets.com and all the amazing free resources and information. Since reading, watching the youtube videos, attending a free webinar, listening to the podcast, I've decided I want to get into real estate investing!
In doing so I realize I need a lot of contacts but I'm coming in kind of cold. I would appreciate any information/resources/contacts folks can provide in the Halfmoon, NY area (near Albany). I see my greatest needs as getting a good CPA, lawyer, property management company, handyman, etc.
Thanks in advance - and I look forward to chatting with everyone on the forum and possibly meeting in person!
