He is partnered with the city attorney so, I figured the seller should be relatively protected in case I default here in Sierra Vista, AZ.I am asking for expertise, understanding it is not legal advice and to consult a RE attorney etc.

I don’t have much exposure or expertise, just looking to connect with others who are advanced, knowledgeable and willing to guide and share their experiences with me.

This is where the expertise of a certified public accountant (CPA) or enrolled agent (EA) can be invaluable.Finding a CPA or EA who specializes in real estate investing can be crucial in ensuring you take advantage of all available tax benefits and comply with the tax laws.

Also since you do not have any expertise there how do you know what to pay or where to buy ? 

We're looking forward to learning from your expertise and strengthening our investment strategies together.Thank you in advance, and we hope to hear from you soon!

Hi @Cory Wade.I do know several experienced real estate attorneys who would be happy to tackle your complex transaction, but you should first determine whether the deal is worth the cost: Top-tier real estate legal expertise can be expensive to retain.If your deal will support the expense, connect with me here on BP and I'll gladly make a warm introduction for you.For the record, I receive NO compensation for making this referral.

For example, if they have experience as a contractor and are familiar with the target area, their expertise can add value to the partnership.2.

I had a partner bring this deal to me that needed extensive renovations, since that is my area of expertise with BRRRR deals, he asked me to partner on it.

I would really appreciate your expertise.

and my area of expertise way back when was land .. so it was just a normal buy for me.
