The reason I am not planning to do initially is that I am in a time pinch and am unable to meet with my attorney who recently setup my personal series.

My friend who is an engineer thinks that the town should be dealing with the initial problem of the drain.

If you're doing all of the accounting and recordkeeping for the properties and giving the CPA good Income and Expense records, this level of fee is pretty high, in my opinion.I might charge something like that only if you were handing me a shoebox, 20 bank accounts statements for the year and incredibly messy recordkeeping.
