Agreed.The 401k, and it's nonprofit counterpart 403b and their non-employer based friend IRA, are excellent tools for a host of reasons.

@Bill Plymouth hey bill, don’t charge more. focus first on providing excellent service and meeting all the needs of your client. the money should be secondary. if you go above and beyond for him at the normal rate, he will tell all his friends. if you go above and beyond but only did so because you’re getting paid more, that’s not probably going to bring referrals. i think focusing on your clients needs first will yield far greater return for you down the road.

,I am looking for an Excellent Real Estate CPA and Attorney in Michigan, Livingston County preferably.

Excellent Question!

Excel.

I have excellent credit. 

I fully understand all about the "you get what you pay for", but from what I've seen when buying 3 homes in the past, the attorney (hired for the "regular" $$$, not $95, with excellent reviews, recommendations and references) was hardly anything but email-forwarding clerk.

MFUs are selling from 350k to 550k which I’m afraid I won’t qualify for by myself (even though I have an excellent credit score) .

Find one that does not have a high-priced long-term monthly contract, flexible pricing, and excellent customer service.

This is indeed an excellent platform for both new and seasoned investors.You will learnt a lot.
