I know the basics well but now I 'm looking for the specifics you can only learn from a professional investor in real world situations.

I am a DIY'er thru and thru, but totally respect and see a need for professional contractor services as well in many instances.

The banks like to have an approved and accredited contractor (they may nominate one unless you have one in mind), who will itemize all expenses, that the bank approves and cuts checks for individually.

Excessive talking is usually an attempt to prevent getting challenged on anything.Better Business Bureau is making money off accreditation.. but I would still take a look at the complaints.

This is what I typically tell people with a heavy emphasis on consulting their tax professional.

We'll surprise surprise there are many home rentals listed but 97% are listed through a professional rental leasing companies, not the homeowner.

Get independent verification of accreditation from a company in the business of providing these services AND 2.

I would not expect it from a professional attorney to be that vague.Vague documents or parts of it can be held in a court of law in some cases to be unenforceable.

I think I found a good GC etc so now I'm looking for my professional advisors.Can anyone recommend any attorneys & CPAs who specialize in RE investments?

It's just an option, there are all kinds of real estate education options out there to supplement any professional title you want to earn in the field.
