CPA and/or lawyer before doing my first deal?

[Brendan Harvey]

Hello Bigger Pockets! I am a new investor looking to do my first deal. I could use some insight on the importance of hiring or at least speaking with a CPA and/or lawyer. I have read quite a few books and listen to the podcasts daily and it seems this is mentioned in almost every discussion. Also any guidance on finding the equitable CPA and/or lawyer is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your opinions!

@Brendan Harvey imo go buy a deal and then talk to a CPA or lawyer if you need to. People over think this. Find a deal that will make you money buy good liability insurance and when you start making money find a CPA to help you keep some extra bucks and a lawyer to protect the bucks you have. But step one is make some money.
