You want a surgeon that specializes in the kind of surgery you need, not a general surgeon.

He's not local to PA- I don't believe any of the REI specialized tax pros on BiggerPockets are, but he's an invetor as well and long time member on BP. 

When refinancing we worked with a lender that specializes in financing for real estate investors.

If you've only ever lived in single family homes, you might specialize there to start instead of apartments.

They might have a special agreement for the tenant to sign and/or have you added onto the tenant's insurance policy.

@Lea Fein Thomas Santoro is a Broker who specializes in Real Estate Investing. 

He's REI specialized and a long time investor and active member on BP for years. 

Has anyone ever specialized in this?

(Must be in another area, lol).As an agent, and a property manager, (both specializing in commercial property), I would recommend the following only because seems like an off market property-1- Viewing the leases making sure current owner can sell as there is no ROFR.2- Any security deposits.3- Confirming tenants are paying with either an estoppel certificate or simple as viewing deposits. 4- I’m sure the title search will come up with CO on legal commercial with 4 Resi.

@Jasmine Russell That’s a tricky one lol the real answer is it depends(annoying I know)… When I first got started I had 0 experience but had done a ton of research, I still lost 100k on my first deal (lol) but I used that painful lesson on my pitches to tell future partners what I learned and didn’t give upit was also a raw land permitting play and I payed back the investor every penny I owed which helped my brand- Now, for those that know me I don’t need to go over my portfolio, what I’ve done etc because my reputation precedes me however, when I’m in a scramble and need funding for a deal and advertising it to the world and talking to strangers I’m absolutely going over my track record so they feel comfortable that I know what I’m doing and if I don’t specialize in a particular niche I get someone on my team and involved in the deal who’s and expert there and have them on the calls or at the very least their website or somethingI definitely am a fan of fake it till you make it but if you’re the one putting capital into a deal maker, check, double check and triple check everything they tell you and do your own DD
