@Frank ZondloReach out to @Bernard Reisz who is a CPA but specializes in Solo 401k investments.

Looking for a CPA for Tax Planning that is specialized in rental real estate and self directed IRAs.

I am also seeking agents that specialize in short-sales and foreclosures including pre-foreclosures.I need the agent's guidance from start to finish on these challenging properties from the time I view them to the time I buy them.Please reply with your contact information or send me a direct message to discuss further.

I wasn't sure if it was a good deal or not, specially knowing that the house is already on the MLS.
