Sorry this is not helping too much, but I think you should perhaps look for referrals for competent CPAs and pay their rate as opposed to looking for a CPA at a certain rate and obtain their services.A good CPA, financial planner, estate & wealth planner (like myself, hint, hint) would see just from your small description that you may need some planning and structuring to ensure good asset protection strategies, long term wealth growth and benefits plus estate structuring to fully protect and preserve your valuable assets for the future.It is true that right now is an extremely busy time for accountants and if what you are looking for is not a tax return, then most places would hold you off until after April 15.Joe

The only caveat to those recommendations is that while I love the vast majority of Dave Ramsey's info, he is way too extreme about being against all forms of debt.

I'm in California and @Steven Hamilton II is my accountant, he's extremely knowledgeable and is an investor himself.

It is one of those markets that seems to have minimal swings, which is extremely attractive to a buy/hold investor like myself.

Here is SoCal, the water is extremely hard.

I have been extremely interested in real estate for many years now.

My guess is you need to purchase for like 20% of the UPB and restructure the note so that the payment amount stays the same but the term and UPB is reduced then it would be marketable to a note buyer.Again I don't really know but am extremely interested in finding out since I am just starting to look into note buying.

That is extremely helpful.

I think of myself as frugal (my wife would use another word) but this guy took it to the extreme.
