I'm self employed, I'm a graphic designer and never really needed a CPA before as I just dealt with my text preparer but, I just purchased my 2nd investment property and, now I'm looking for a CPA but, I don't know what characteristics to look for in them, in the context of Real Estate and my business.

This is one example of a document that should be created to showcase a snapshot of the investment.

I think it’s vital for my reputation to go overboard in preparing for this first deal to be very successful to showcase my potential as far as this line of business goes… I hope I answered all of your questions correctly! 

Which has worked out well.We have an Instagram that I showcase my Real Estate and and IG and FB for my wife's business.

After you have done light research, bring some tools to the table and showcase your talents.  

From what I understood of the previous text (feel free to clarify), funds typically show off their 'showcase' deals (the ones they've completed prior) to their investors.

These might be preferable to a Task Rabbit which may not specialize in showcasing your apartment nor be as flexible.

Is there anything you would highly recommend doing or showcasing in the pitch?

I have been using my own home building process to showcase our skills to attract larger projects along with higher class clients, it has been working. 

The person who gifted it to us has a billboard business also and wants to invest in real estate next so for more reason I should start learning ahead of time to showcase my knowledge to him and become asset.I do like residential, but really want to specialize in something else as well that not every other agent is doing and I definitely understand why investors would want to stick to agents that are knowledgeable of this sector.
