Questions about being a newbie?

Does anyone think that it will be hard trying to find a good CPA to work with when you are a newbie? Then again, not only a CPA but as far as finding good people in general, like real estate agents, contractors, or wholesalers. Wouldn't they turn you away as soon as they notice that you are a newbie? :roll:

    From a contractors point of view, I would say, "No". I would never turn down a chance to make money whether my client is a newbie or a seasoned pro.

    Just beware that there are some contractors out there that will take advantage of you. I'm sure this also may apply to CPA's too.

    In regards to your professional team members such as CPA's and attorneys, it makes no difference if you are new or seasoned. You can be truthful with them and get the help and assistance you need accordingly.
    For other service providers, particularly property managers, handyman services, etc, you NEVER tell them you are new. That opens the door for them to take advantage of you. You must learn what to ask, what answers to expect, and how to speak and negotiate with tem to protect yourself and to be successful. Education in these areas is pertinant.
