Here are a few recommendations:1) Find one that is a a fit for what you wan to learn2) For real estate specifically, only take advice from active practitioners.

Pick any profession, and you will find crappy practitioners. 

Greg, that's great you seek to build relationships to encourage longevity among clients, all practitioners do.I've been practicing for a while too, and respectfully, the points you're raising are "much ado about nothing". 

No more massages, chiropractic appointments, movie theaters or malls. 

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner.

Some practitioners feel the time frames should move back to March 13 when the FEMA emergency declaration was declared.

You have to think of yourself and carry yourself as a practitioner.

If they advocated for anything less than 3-6 months in reserves then they were being negligent (whether practitioners followed the advice or not is a whole other issue).

I'm a rental property investor, BRRRR practitioner, and a real estate agent specializing in investors, especially those getting started. 

Do you need to be a CPA to be a solid tax practitioner, no you don't.
