I'm a financial planner by profession, I deal largely with company and state retirement plans and assisting clients with retirement funding analysis.

Fort Wayne investors, I am looking for a CPA and/or Financial Planner in our area who understands real estate investors and can help me strategize my taxes and plan for early retirement.  

Those aren't exactly something the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has made optional...My BS detector is starting to activate.

@Tom Pignatello  My experience has been to at least send over the application and your financials first to see if the lender is interested in working with you.

I never got financials that I trust, so I have no idea what their expenses were.  

Condos, in general, are dependent on the financial stability of all of the owners.  

@Steven Hamilton II or anyone local to the Seattle area, I would also welcome a referral if you've got a good resource in mind.   

@Tony Silvas I think part of the problem is that you are looking at this purely from a financial point of view and not the emotional part.

I’ve worked in varying capacities as a financial analyst, software engineering & product design instructor, & senior design engineer with growing startups to some of the biggest companies out there.
