Perhaps you can share what tools you're using to review the deals, whether or not your goal is higher, or ways to streamline the process.

The costs would likely be more than the streamlined program allows for, so full program it is, I guess.

Develop a system to help you streamline your processes so that you can eventually hand parts of your  business over to others in an efficient way.  

There is a great demand for it and it supposedly streamlines your tenant issues because the state pays a portion of your rent. 

Again, this is a very niche field and many tax professionals just don't know much about it or deal with it regularly enough to develop streamlined systems and meaningful expertise.There are several such providers here on BP.
