My goal is always to be as decisive as I can be once I've collected 60-80% of the data because you'll never have everything you need and speed is usually your friend in investing.

Do deals / make financial decisions that make sense BEFORE considering the tax benefits.

The list of employees is displayed down the right side rather than forum posts allowing you to connect with everyone in that company all from one location.Anyone can create a Company Profile, and Pro members have this information displayed in their signature, along with their logo. 

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the tax consequences of the decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck in your search.

@Chris Marshall that would be a tremendous help and would greatly appreciate that information 

This is great information! 

I have been looking and doing some research on different areas to invest into and so far I have gathered information on which zip codes to avoid, the crime data for Detroit & neighboring cities/towns, rental values, demographics &  economic outlook. however, I haven't been able to narrow down on any particular neighborhood yet.

Each person can make a different decisions and that be an okay decision based on their goals.

Thank you for the reply and information.

Gathering all the information will be more time-consuming, especially if the seller is an individual rather than a big corporation.2.
