Love these events.  I will attend.

No way that I know of.  You would need to create a new email for each number.  You may be able to find a number service that gives you multiple numbers for one account but you will have to pay for those.  The shoestring budget way will be to open up the multiple emails but how many marketing pieces do you have?  Will it be that cumbersome to open up multiple accounts?  If so the next shoestring option is to put  a tracker on the marketing piece, "access code: home help", for example.  Use a different code for each piece then ask the prospective client for their access code.  That will tell you which marketing piece your getting a response on.

To track which marketing works best you may want to try to get different numbers (hopefully for free alla google voice) and use a different number for each marketing piece.  That way you can track where the most responses are coming from.  That or try putting a marketing code on the marketing piece but if you use that method for a bandit sign they usually never remember the code.

Thanks for the advise everyone. That's what I was thinking there is no secret sauce for finding a CPA ZEN MASTER.  I'm going to take some recommendations from some other investors and agents, pull some good interview questions from online and start interviewing potential candidates. 

I purchased my first buy an hold investment property last year.  I'm wondering is there a real difference when it comes to CPA'S.  Is there really a huge benefit to having an astute CPA on my team opposed to going to a box company like H&R Block?  Even from CPA to CPA is there one that can master the manipulation of tax loop holes and the construction of creative tax strategies more than the next?  I mean aren't they all following the same tax law?  I'm paralyzingl myself trying to analyze this stuff because I feel like I need to find the guy who knows to tell me to plant a lemon plant in my backyard so I can claim my property as an agricultural production facility and get a million dollar tax benefit for that year.  Does anyone have any suggestions on questions to ask when interviewing a CPA?  I'm looking for someone patient, will put tax language into dummy terms, works with investors or invest themselves, can give recommend sources of simple education on what I can do from a tax standpoint to improve my business's financial efficiency.

I would like to attend . Thanks.
