Hello everyone. If you were to start your own real estate business no matter what kind. How would you go about finding an attorney and cpa or tax person to help you set it up properly? How many would you vet before picking one? What are some questions you would ask them? Would you seek a business loan or build credit first to gain capitol needed? Thanks.

@Basit Siddiqi has the right idea. I would get recommendations (or at least ask the CPA for references). Talk to somewhere between 1-3 CPAs to find one you like. If you find 1-3 good CPAs, pick one, they are in high demand. Your CPA will know attorneys and vice versa. I'd ask a few questions that you had, if they have similar clients, and for references. 

PS Depends on your induvial situation on going for the loan or credit first.
