I do not insist that an agent go see any and every property and send video and pictures, etc....I make offers contingent upon inspection, and ask agent to view after the fact, after acceptance, during due diligence with pictures, video, , and protect me and verify numbers.......I even develop relationship and trust that I will relist (flip) with that agent,  and even offer bonus if agent can help verify repairs or does anything above and beyond norm in regards to contractor or rehab.Come time to docusign purchase offer,, an agent in past has been obsessed with sneaking in an agency agreement locking me into and marrying that 1 individual into a large mileage radius in every direction and a many months time frame, for any action taken on my part to his her benefit...this is not fun...it is never fun at all..and very very stressful and distracting...and I hate this...and lose respect, ,and finally it is unnecessary and irrelevant to purchase offer at hand.I tell the agent to make it property specific and it is met with resistance, and delay.I ask agent can we pre-docusign an agency agreement with verbage specific to purchase contract address and still write in the address after the fact that we take action on, so cut out any paper work or excess time to make offers...i want agent to be able to make an offer in a few minutes...and i want to pre fill out any duplicate paperwork.I am looking for an agent who has the courage to allow me make offers through him / her, agency agreement specific to that property, I ask only that it is contingent upon inspection..that agent review it and assist to inspect it...please contact or refer or suggest an agent for Raleigh NC...

I am not sure an accountant will want to take on that exposure/liability for preparing a return incorrectly.2) There are often cases where an accountant prepares a return/form and another accounting firm reviews the form.

In my opinion, inflation rates are extremely understated, please see these two articles that drive the point home:http://www.businessinsider.com/if-people-knew-the-...https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-09/devonshi...Essentially, in times when the dollar is depreciating rapidly, in our situation due to excessive years of "easy money" and quantitative easing by the Fed, low fixed-rate debt is the best tool to combat inflation.

They seem like a good group, as I get more exposure with them I’ll be happy to share my experience but so far it’s been all positive..

I definitely recommend it, although it has its drawbacks too.Pros:Massive amounts of exposure to real estate. 

I am not investing for the purpose of parking excess cash.I am in business to make money, daily, weekly, monthly, not something my kids will inherit and immediately sell..

The problem is you have to delead if a child under 6 lives there, and average cost in the state for that is well in excess of $10k/unit.

@Theresa Allison By "profits" do you mean the excess of the proceeds over the mortgage (if any), rehab costs, and holding costs?

Are you familiar with jargon, basic techniques, camera settings and the exposure triangle? 

Protect ourselves and our company from paying excess tax by investing surplus cash into paying off mortgages early.3.
