I could better understand local crowdfunders who say specialized in one city or area.I know for a fact that there are people investing in these CF deals who have very little background in real estate and the are doing almost no due diligence on deals they invest in.  

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a combination CPA/attorney that specializes in real estate and asset protection?  

King Industrial in GA specializes.

It takes a special kind of person to put in the work and dedication that it takes to be successful.

I would like to share a thought I had about the trifecta to look for when hiring a good GC for your flips; Quality work; get the job done in your time frame and within budget. 1st, I once heard on 1 of the BP podcasts (sorry I don't remember who it was on which #) that you can find those that excel in 2, aspects and the 3rd is "okay", but you will rarely find a GC that specializes in all the aspects.

I believe you are referencing cash management, which is only applicable on larger loans, or those with special circumstances.

Hi Mike,BP Law is a national law firm that specializes in foreclosure and real estate.

Many title searches/insurance policies supplied by REO title firms will not include, and have exceptions for, any unrecorded liens....such as utilities, code violation fines, etc.

Nathan Eberly is a Realtor and per the code of ethics he is legally held to a higher standard.

It is most likely similar in other cities, but especially in Philly, a block or two, even within the same zip code, can make a humungous difference...in rental income, in vacancy rates, in "buying right"I keep my "ears to the ground", so to speak, by working closely with realtors, wholesalers, and property managers in various areas/neighborhoods to see where and how things are moving.
