Nearly everything "cool" about RE is at the Federal level, so there isn't much of a reason to get a local CPA unless you like to stare at their pocket protector over coffee :)I met @Linda Weygant at a Denver meetup and she's been doing great things with my taxes.

Don't know anyone in Fort Collins but you may want to try @Linda Weygant out of Denver, she is an active member here and has wealth of knowledge when it comes to real estate and taxes. 

Can someone tell me how Obama is not a hypocrite in his support/non-support/support/complete distancing from his religious guide and mentor of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright?

He got his DDS here in the US at Loma Linda University and did post grad work at Harvard.

Originally posted by @Linda Weygant:Just wanted to clarify for you as well - the $10,000 banking transaction you heard about has to do with cash.In an effort to get a handle on the money laundering that occurs with the drug trade, banking regulations state that any transaction of $10,000 or more IN CASH must be reported.  

I was not personally invested in MF in 07 08 i had my own troubles.. but I did broker a 100 unit in 06 in PDX and that property did very well and continues to do well a matter of fact they bought at 5 cap and its running at almost 8 cap now that rents went up 30 to 50% ... were multi got hammered as I said was PHX and Vegas and some other markets .. but those markets were hammered  vacancy rates were sky high and investors could not debt service and lost props left and right ...you probably remember linda Gerchick who came to SF  and was on doing   big meetups selling 4 plexs in PHX in 04 to 06..

@Kyle Wright Iowa is definitely cheaper.

Thank you @Linda Weygant for the tag and referral.
