Hi Danielle,There is definitely a lot you can do in Real Estate.

That’s a great time to bring in some strategy help—FL W-2 + FL rental + MI campground/marina is a lot of moving parts.For what you’re describing, I’d look for a CPA who:Works primarily with real estate investors,Has multi-state clients with filing in FL + upper Midwest,Understands campground/marina issues (depreciation, land improvements, sales/occupancy taxes, etc.), andCan meet with you at least once a year purely for planning, not just tax prep.

You’ve gotten a great response from Alan already, and honestly, I’d say a lot of the same things.Since you’re going into the Air Force, take advantage of the benefits you have right now.

There are a lot of things that need to address for a PM company between compliance with the state, local rent control in a lot of your area you'll be covering, a lot of competition that is in your area, marketing/ads, and so much more.
