I'm also very active in church ministry, a freelance professional photographer, pilot in training and eager to get on with RE investing.

Bc it would my first should I leave it to professional lol

:)Not at all professional sounding, but we haven't outgrown it yet...

I would also get estimates to have your roof cleaned before the hearing, and use the cleaning as a bargaining tool, "Would you allow me to have it professionally cleaned as an alternative to replacement?"

Its a carefully balance system that can change over time and easily corrected by a professional.

Then, go out and get a professional inspector to give you all the dirt on the house.

Competing for grants and other monies from foundations and the govt is a whole 'nuther level that requires ongoing efforts by professionals in the grant writing field.The B Corp appears to me as a feel good pseudo entity at this point.

If you mean protection for general liability (tenants, visitors, slip & falls), just grab an umbrella policy (~250/yr for 1mil covering ~5 properties, about 100 for each increment mils), simplest thing you can do and beats the couple thousand in fees a professional will charge you.If you want or need to do tax sheltering strategies or optimize estate distributions etc, then definitely go for a qualified accountant or attorney.

I have many friends and acquaintances who are fee based planners and frankly even those professionals have a vested interest in selling product.

I have had a fiberglass tub/shower surround refinished professionally 3 years ago and it has held up well.
