BP referral for Tax services - beware

[Dave Hart]

Fair warning BP friends. I leveraged the BP site to get referrals on tax services now that my portfolio is growing (4 properties). I was connected to 1800 Accountant (they said they were a partner of BP). Sounds like decent services, but it's a high pressure sales job (like when the window & door guy comes to your house and wont leave until you sign). They might be great, but we were only 9 minutes in before the conversations turned to "what credit card are you going to use." Every question I asked was answered with "once you pay, you can talk to a certified accountant." 

I need a partner to help me with tax strategy - and these guys feel like a boiler room.

Admins - sorry if this post needs to go somewhere else on the site, but I wanted to provide feedback and let you know that this team is saying they are "partners with BP" and behaving like this. Let me know if I need to move it or send to your "Build your team" team.

 It's well known by now that the Bigger Pockets referral scheme is lackluster at best; garbage at worst.

You should just go to some local REI groups or browse Yelp for CPA reviews. Stay far away from from the Bigger Pockets referral scheme.
