What should I watch out for, and is there a significant advantage to choosing an EA over a CPA?

One thing to watch out for... it is a tax, but not an income tax (so it applies to Roth accounts as well). 

As others have said watch out for property taxes and home insurance too. 

I watched some of your videos on YouTube and was impressed.

There are multi-million dollar houses that you can walk just a couple short blocks and watch the neighborhood get pretty rough and potentially dangerous.

Either buy what you can afford, or stay out of the game till you can afford it.Anyone involved in trainings, mentorships etc on any topic, anywhere, my advice to you is PRESS IN, get closer to your group, sit at the feet of the 'masters' so to speak...then watch what happens to your knowledge, and your business.

I wonder what I'd be able to do with 3-6 months then.It's sort of like comparing apples to oranges then I'd assume?
