I would run your numbers based off of the data, and figure out what is the best fit for you.  

The good ones won't lock you in to a term and will allow you to try PM out to see if it's a good fit for you. 

I've got what I think should be a buy, but it doesn't fit into my normal "buy box" and I'm looking for some advice on how to proceed with this one.I have a single family property in the Midland/Odessa market.  

We’re looking for a few real estate agents in Houston to fill a couple openings, so if you’re an agent I’d love to talk with you to see if you’d be a fit to start working with the investor leads generated by Biggerpockets.I was an agent in the program in Nashville for a little over a year, received over 350 leads which resulted in over $200k in commissions.

We’re a local lender that also can find you some national options if it doesn’t fit our criteria.

Join as many meetup groups you can and network till you find the fit!

This is a perfect example of how real estate investing is never a one size fits all.

I think if your tax return is simple(W-2 and a couple of interest/brokerage accounts), then software like turbo tax, H&R block will likely do just fine.However, when you get into investments(Real Estate, Syndications, etc), you may be better off hiring a professional.I think it is a good idea to match your tax profile with that of the professional.If you are a real estate professional, work with a CPA who understands real estate taxation.I also think people need to find the right fit with the CPA.I often find small real estate investors try to work with a large firm where their target market might be large institutional investors.

Depending on what your looking for, the most important factors will be your cash position and the merits of the deal you are proposing.I know a few lenders in this space and one in particular that I think would be a good fit for Fall River. 

If you have no other choice due to your home state market conditions,  research a market which would fit your financial capabilities and then begin assembling a team including a realtor, lender, property manager and contractor.
