For those who have had bad experiences with PPC agencies, I do a lot of interviews for PPC practitioners, who are miserable at their huge PPC agencies, managing 60 accounts (yes SIXTY) accounts per month.

I would seek consultation from someone who has been a successful proven investor and creative practitioner, partner with him or give a share of the equity and cash flow he is able to help create (don't go it alone). 

I get the common belief in these and the presumption that what is known to a particular practitioner is all that need be known, but that is pretty dangerous and naive.  

A written and signed statement confirming these responses can be required from a professional medical or mental health practitioner, or a social worker.

Hi Chris, I am a CPA (but don't practice individual returns) and based on my experience it would be hard to find that individual CPA practitioner that would be an expert in both fields.

I just had 20 offers on a listing, so I'm not seeing it on a practitioner's level either.  

I would advise against using a sole practitioner for continuity purposes.

By career I am a Nurse Practitioner and a Reservist.
