CPA in Las Vegas expert in Real Estate

[Mark Lorenz Ruperto]

Great day everyone. I am just starting out in my real estate investing journey and just finished reading a book from Bigger Pockets. I am a little confused and have so many questions about taxes and write offs pertaining to real estate investing and would like to connect with someone here in Las Vegas. Please shoot me a message if you are in town or you know someone. Thank you

You mention you are 'new' to real estate.
How new are you?
Do you have a rental property yet? Are you speaking with agents/wholesalers? Are you defining where you want to invest?

Personally, I think CPA's / Tax professionals come later in the stage when it comes to real estate investing.
You likely want to find agents / wholesalers / contractors / PM companies before you want to find a CPA.

With that said - what are your tax related questions?

You are very fortunate to live in one of the few states that does not require a resident state income tax. This is good for you as this opens you up to being to find a CPA outside of your state. With that said, below are some tips on how to find a local CPA.

1) Attend a Local REIA / Real Estate meetup and see who other investors are using as a CPA
2) Network with other investors from your City/State that you find on bigger pockets and see who they use as a CPA
3) Look for CPA's with good google/yelp reviews where 'real estate' is mentioned in the review.
4) Verify that your CPA is licensed. Many 'tax professionals' lie that they are a CPA.

Here is a link that you can use to verify that your CPA is licensed within the state of Nevada
