@Hugo RamirezHi Hugo,Your first order of business should be to become literate in the language of finance and to understand how the metrics work.From there, build or acquire a pro forma to allow you to conduct in-depth underwriting analysis.Doing anything in real estate requires you to have these skills and tools.Feel free to contact me if you have any specific questions, and wishing you the best of luck.

Nonetheless I still plan on my next RE investments being in the Phoenix area, specifically the retirement areas, as I see that segment growing...plus Phoenix has been one of the hottest (pun intended) RE areas in the country over the past decade.....

Pick one that is commenting on your specific situation and DM them.

And not just a generalized CPA, but one that specifically specializes in real estate taxation.

How do you like it when one colleague of mine tells you to avoid people offering tax planning services and another one suggests that you specifically look for it?

On BP we are not allowed to directly promote ourselves so please keep this in mind :P Please refer to my asset protection tier list below, to see if you even need this type of asset protection for your specific use case: Worst: – No coverage, held in your name.

I would talk to at least a few CPAs who are real estate specific and then see which one you click with.

Personally I've got a long standing relationship with an insurance broker that shops for me and provides excellent customer service. 

What are your thoughts regarding this specific topic!
