Engage with them at your own risk. 

Our primary issue on both previous CPAs was lack of engagement/enthusiasm in their work.  

How cool.Well, It's because I was seen as a player, a closer (meaning I close on deals I put under contract).I said, "I didn't know you owned a building" and to that he said "yes, it's the building with two - first floor retail spaces and 9 apartments on the corner".Dang, just what I love.

If you engage with them and seriously contemplate what they bring to the table, you will make a better decision in the end.And no one has tried to sell you a thing, just a bunch of real estate multimillionaires trying to help you, for free.

Keep a leverage player on hand, if you find a great deal.

Some who are major players doing big stuff.

The eviction did happen but SDIRA is actively engaged and working to help update the unit from the damage of the prior bad renter.  

Most don't engage in forward looking planning only in rearview mirror reporting. 

Legal and ethical implications: Agents engaging in such practices may face:Legal consequencesLicensing penaltiesEthical violationsThese actions ultimately harm consumers by restricting options and potentially inflating costs.The new system, allowing buyers and their agents to negotiate commissions directly, promotes transparency and fair competition.

My plan is to diversify my syndications by finding similar players in other good locations.
