I would suggest the client to find another partner with experience or have the builder/GC PG for favorable terms. 

Many of my most sophisticated investor clients are engineers. 

I also have a client in Turlock who could rec a good CPA up there as well.  

I want to fund my life through managing properties and investments, doing a little bit of hair (I used to have a salon and now I just have about 2 clients a week that I still do for now), and I plan to get into small business strategy consulting after graduation.

As much as I can I try to keep my clients out of serious foundation repair as it is typically not a one time repair, but an ongoing issue over time. 

Often (as happened with Northpoint), I had only talked to the person in charge of bringing in new clients.

But I ran some actual reports for clients this week and wanted to share.

If real estate is involved, separating it into its own LLC before the sale can simplify the process and make it easier to leverage a 1031 exchange.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Time horizon matters a lot too, talking to a client in their 60's wanting to retire is very different than someone in their 30's looking to build and accumulate wealth. 

I never recommend to my clients to be the ones to deal with the tenants unless they have the experience.2.
