You want a surgeon that specializes in the kind of surgery you need, not a general practitioner.

In this case a general practitioner is unlikely to be able to help, you need an attorney that understands the bankruptcy process.  

I am a mechanical engineer and she is in school to be a nurse practitioner.

A colleague of mine suggested I sign up for Bigger Pockets, so I can post opportunities I have listed, identify new opportunities and network with other industry practitioners.  

I am soon finishing and will hopefully land a professional career, my wife and I will soon be nurse practitioners.

I am a teacher and my wife is a nurse practitioner.

I think part of the problem is, and no offense at all intended to residential or solo practitioners, but residential just has not caught up to the rest of the legal world in fees.

That doesn't mean you have to know as much as an expert practitioner, but it helps to know what an 'Index fund' or 'Cashflow play' is before you surrender money to it.2) Find someone older than you who you feel has done all the right things.

@Dorothy Ma Are you doing this as a sole practitioner, or have you built a team?

I'm not a big fan of the whole "I grew my portfolio to 300 units in 24 months" approach that is touted on the podcasts ... it may be a recipe for attracting advertising dollars for BP, but in the long haul believe that its practitioners are more likely to end up in the poor house as they are to on easy street.
