I had zero real estate knowledge back then.  

I have a good working knowledge of the business, but no investment purchases. 

So focus all your energy on acquiring leads and becoming knowledgeable on market trends, contracts, negotiations, and networking.

The amount of information and the wealth of knowledge in the minds of members willing to share from their experience in the BP community is amazing.

I want to expand my knowledge of the Market!

For instance, the cost to prepare a return for a single individual will be different than for a married individual with children, all else being equal.Other drivers are the cost of living where your CPA is located (CA CPAs are more expensive than AL CPAs), their practice's overhead, and the CPA's experience and knowledge level.I don't know of any practitioner who wouldn't charge for more states.
