Whether you want to be the local waterfront expert, the multifamily expert or the land expert...become extremely proficient and the local expert in your lane.

BP, please send some experts here for a couple of weeks to do the needed analysis.

I am shooting to close on my 14th STR (self managed) in the next 6 months (started/built/flipped and sold 6 others) over the last 9 yrs and I have only seen horror stories of those who paid for "experts".

Once you determined that it can indeed help you, contact these BP experts, each one of them operates a reputable full-service cost segregation firm:  @Bernard Reisz, @Yonah Weiss, @Julio GonzalezThank you for the tag @Michael Plaks!

I wish I had the courage to take this leap earlier in life, but am excited to begin this journey and learn as much as possible from all of the experts here. 

Quote from @Peter Zynko: 1) get someone with experience on your team, an expert - verify their track record. 2) something invisible might be the politics of the town to get your permits and what ever else approved...partner atleast with your first one with a seasoned operator.  

I have a ton of question’s and I’m looking forward to learning from all the experts here.

I used to think the same thing.But after working with a lot of new investors, here’s the pattern I keep seeing:The people who grow the fastest are the ones who get their foundation right before they buy anything.I’m talking about simple stuff like:Opening separate bank accountsKeeping clean records from day oneUnderstanding how income and expenses actually flowGetting a basic system for tracking your numbersYou don’t need to be an expert.

Please provide a list of CPAs who are experts in Short-Term Rentals (STRs) and could work on an hourly basis.

Everyone is an expert, man.
