Referrals for DFW (Contractors, CPA, etc.)

[Alex S.]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knew any contacts in the DFW area that they've had a good experience with. I'm specifically referring to accountants, contractors, lenders, or realtors. I currently have a CPA that I work with that does my taxes, but he doesn't have much experience with real estate. I am relatively happy with my realtor, but we haven't worked together very long, so I'd like to talk to some others to compare. I've spoken to a few lenders, but I haven't found one I like yet. And as for contractors, I've got nothing. I don't have any contacts for reliable contractors, so I would really appreciate if anyone had any names for people they've liked.

Thanks!

@Alex S. rather than listing an entire Rolodex of people here I think the right thing to do here is to recommend to network with some real estate investor groups.  Then you can meet other investors and actually meet some of the people you are asking for references on.  Here's the list of groups I would recommend here locally:

Real Estate Groups

Several of these will have similar names but they are different. And these are the groups that I feel comfortable recommending. Several groups in DFW will try very hard to sell you things if you attend. Some are like $20,000. These are not that.

DFW REI Club – – meet about 50 times per year. Lots of different topics and a very friendly group.

DFW Mid Cities REIA - - meets each month and is completely free. Usually free food and free drinks.

DFW REI Network Investing Meetup - - Started in Bigger Pockets this group meets once per month. Just straight information and super friendly atmosphere.

AREA Real Estate Investing Group – https://www.meetup.com/realestate-445/ - Meets once per month and is usually well attended
