You may want to make an introduction between your CPA to those 2 colleagues.The CPA can go over their services and pricing to your colleagues.I partner with many people on real estate deals - It never gets to a discussion on whether they do their own tax return or hire a professional.If a partner mentions he will provide capital - does he provide the capital on a timely manner.If a partner mentions he will find deals - does he find many deals and provide an analysisIf a partner mentions he will manage a property - does he manage the property well(find tenants, collect rent, communicate with contractors, etc)

I'm happy to pass a warm referral over if needed!

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Over the past quarter, I have seen around $1B in defaulted fix and flip loans - many of these from new lenders since 2020 and more of a "tech platform".As we all know, the intersection of tech and real estate investing has brought incredible innovation, especially in hard money lending.

If the negative cash flow is manageable and the appreciation potential is strong, it could be a smart move.On the other hand, investing out of state allows you to enter more affordable markets with strong, steady returns, helping you to build a diverse portfolio over time.

Don't over crowd your place though.
