With one or two uncomplicated rentals, though, you really shouldn't be paying a CPA more than $1000 to handle your local, state, and federal tax returns.You find your lawyer the same way, by poaching an experienced investor's real estate lawyer.

Say something like: "while I am a licensed Agent, I am as interested in buying your house as I am in listing it" (if that's true)...and end it with something like "if your home is currently listed, please have your Agent call me".Not only does that allow you to head off claims of poaching, but who knows?

Apple is already getting sued for poaching talent in this category. 

Oh, and the fines --  not good.Sounds like you are mixing with too many competitors.Go underground, deal with only sellers who need to sell.Increase your margins of profits.Tax sale poaching...... a method to find the equities.
