@Raymond Loughlin I use Garden State Appraisals and Consultants out of Westfield.

Someone used the word "narrow focus" earlier in this thread and to that point, if...after hopefully a long period of thought and consultation with family, friends, counselors, etc....you decide that being in real estate is truly your primary passion, then understand that, in the near term, you will be narrowly defined by others.If your primary purpose for going to college is to be better equipped financially for the future, then I would personally advise getting involved in real estate immediately and forego college at first, then take classes as needed and when you can pay for them in cash. 

I do recommend always consulting with a securities attorney to evaluate your situation and to provide appropriate guidance for maintaining compliance.

Have you consulted a local real estate attorney @Chrissy Tegels?

Although I'm in Fort Lauderdale you can use my lawyer the first consultation is free and if he can't help you he might be able to recommend somebody in the area that will. 

We are consulting with an experienced RE attorney and CPA, but would love feedback from those who have done it in the arena, so to speak.

I would like to read up and perhaps consult with this company, if at all possible - would you perhaps be able to share their details on my inbox?

He's looking for an attorney to consult now but figured I would check here incase someone has dealt with this before.

I’m looking for recommendations on a CPA in the Eugene area (or surrounding areas) to consult with regarding tax strategies for both our personal income and our rental properties (in and out of Oregon).

@Mallory Austin Are you working with a HUD/FHA consultant?
