All of our instructors are extremely successful practitioners and teach what they do.  

Among general practitioners, EAs tend to be somewhat cheaper than CPAs.Specialized tax preparation and tax advice.

@Richard JumonvilleI'd do a search on these forums for self directed IRA practitioners. 

Yes, that abrasive practitioner of "tough love", your comments are surely missed.For that matter, what about Tim.

I mean she went to a third tier law school and appears to be a sole practitioner... but still a lawyer.What I don't understand though is if she is trying to overturn the foreclosure... what do I have to do with that?

Especially the lean and mean solo practitioners who have to fight for their market share.

The other end of the spectrum are solo practitioners who usually went to local law schools (much less demanding/competitive), they advertise in the phone book, the name of their firm is usually their own name, and they usually list a long line of things they do--criminal, bankruptcy, traffic accidents, etc.  

Jeff- You certainly want a good real estate lawyer if you are going to be investing, but most general practitioners can help you with basic entity selection and formation. 

I would let them know you are looking for a referral of a solid tax practitioner that handles US Canada Cross Border specifically for smaller real estate investors. 

A general practitioner takes 4 years medical training, a brain surgeon twelve.
