Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Good evening I am looking into building a network of cash buyers here in los angeles and beyond within California.

@Kevin Si I agree with @Kory Reynolds - you want to work with a professional who fundamentally understands your business, whatever that is.

You could'd be in a better place for learning and networking.

I would like to build a network of people who want to help each other grow their real estate business. 

Accountants are in such demand, that the best are not even accepting clients half the time.The other problem I see often with accountants on here is that they specialize in larger investors, and have really high prices when you as a smaller investor do not need all the bells and whistles.Another thing I see is folks thinking they need to have a tax professional in their state.

I also would like to connect to a landlord or real estate professional in that area, to discuss a mutually beneficial relationship, so asked about that.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
