Keep in mind they will also spend far more time raising capital and diverting their attention outside of managing the investment which is adverse to your objectives.  

Even though pricing was a lot less expensive back then, you hear the same objection as you do today: Where do I get the money for the downpayment?

In the ad creative, you can mention that you're able to buy houses in foreclosure without signaling that you're a specialist in foreclosure-related issues, if that makes sense.

There's a whole section in the course about trials, sequence of events of the trial, how to get evidence entered into the record, when and where and how to object to errors...everything that is relevant to any case, civil or criminal is in there.

If you want to be real sure, you can have him do the work and then pay another accountant  who is a real estate specialist to review it before filed.The other part is your situation.

I see story after story of people being upside down and having to sell at a loss because they chased the shiny object without enough due diligence. 

You can normally work smarter not harder simply by investing in better real estate.The last thing I will add is the notion of cash flow and BRRRR being dual objectives.

In fact most new BRRRR investors prioritize whether they can receive 100% of their capital back through a refinance over all other deal metrics and being laser focused on that particular objective often leads to investing in the lowest tier neighborhood where it is easier to complete the BRRRR process. 

It was not a great personality fit, nor a good business relationship.Realtor #3: 4% sales fee - was very straight forward and objective.

@Zac Kucharek  I will focus on the asset protection component of your post since it appears to be the primary objective.
