Reminder: professional credentials don't mean much if one doesn't specialize in real estate. Me and this colleague of mine have identical EA credentials...  Same goes for the CPA credential.

    Ain't it the truth! What's a guy going to do? 
    Call the EA that practices in the real estate world of course.

    I know a MD that thinks Ivermectin (the treatment for Covid) will kill you. 

    "Ivermectin is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved antiparasitic drug used to treat several neglected tropical diseases, including onchocerciasis, helminthiases, and scabies.1 For these indications, ivermectin has been widely used and is generally well tolerated.1,2
    Ivermectin has been shown to inhibit replication of SARS-CoV-2 in cell cultures.3"

    I once hired a CPA/Tax Attorney, admitted to Tax Court, who couldn’t figure out my real estate taxes (granted, it’s a little more complicated than the average return) but it taught me how to spot someone who knows what they are talking about, pretty darn quickly. The initals CPA, EA and JD don’t mean a thing, it’s the brains & experience behind the initials that count.

    Cost segregation treats Covid better than Ivermectin
