accountant and attorneys

[Ronald Erwin]

at what point would your reccomend finding an attorney and an accountant. as I listen to podcasts all day I hear multiple times you need to find a good one but at what point, at your first property or later when you cant manage It by your self? when did you find your attorney and accountant???

@Ronald Erwin Personally, I would not close on a purchase of a property without first running it by BOTH an attorney and a CPA to make sure everything is set up properly BEFORE you close. 

You will avoid a lot of problems that way.

People close all the time without having an attorney or a CPA, but think that's not the best way to do things.  To me, it's kind of like hopping into a car and trying to drive, before you've had a single driving lesson.
