I would really love some pointers to anyone who is familiar with a good account provider.Would restricting my investments to strictly precious metals (standard US coins) completely eliminate the risk of getting involved in prohibited transactions?

When I tell potential clients that over 90% of my client base is made up of real estate investors that came from BP, they get excited because they know that means I'm working in the industry every single day, seeing a lot of different investing models, developing creative strategies to reduce tax liabilities, and staying current on regulations that may affect our precious tax loopholes.

Time is the most precious commodity. 

This money is VERY precious to me and I want to make my Grandpa proud with the way that I use it. 

@Precious ThompsonWelcome and make sure you stay with your plan on looking for a mentor, check out local REIA meetings in your area.

In fact we have been probably costing ourselves money that cut into that ever precious bottom line and we didn't even consider that it was something we could change.

For 7-10% of the monthly gross rent ($70-120 per unit) the manager isn't going to waste precious time training the residents to understand better to prevent rule violations.

Everyday it seems that I discover another precious jewel.

@Precious Thompson - Like Nicole Pointed out, it depends on why you are getting a Home Inspection!  

Time is precious and most of us cannot waste it, which is why people will pay for courses.
