@Katie Miller, I purely entertain referrals from other people who have had great experiences with niche CPAs. 

As @Chris Seveney mentioned in the other thread, the qualifier for accreditation is based on 1981 prices

Purely answering the 80% vs 90% leverage question, in most cases it's better to reach for that 20% down.

Thank you,Phil Don’t have any experience with the mentioned mentors, but I do have 45 years experience in commercial real estate investing.Flipping (wholesaling) commercial properties require the same base of knowledge (real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance) that is a foundational requirement for flipping residential properties; PLUS, extensive knowledge of the commercial property TYPE one is trying to engage with, and extensive knowledge of the local real estate market for the subject property type. 

Steven, I wanted to get your thoughts on a few Philadelphia suburbs based on my buy box.

How big will the duplexes be and what are you targeting as the sale price based on market comps?

They will know market data and trends better, have reliable comps to base their recommendations on, and could even be a great deal flow with current portfolio properties selling.The completely remote, centralized PM function is one of the reasons why you see the homes owned by PE firms sit on the market so long.
