Hello everyone I am just getting my feet wet with landlording and real estate investing. I am hopefully closing on my first investment around the 5th of July and I am going to do some cosmetic upgrades to the house and then start renting to students in August.
My question is how does one find a quality CPA and a quality Lawyer. I am not too concerned with price because I know sometimes with these professional services if you try to save money you will get what you pay for. But I would like to try to cut down on the mistakes in choosing someone to do my taxes (since they are going to get a lot more complex) and someone who can help me with any legal issues and questions.
I am in Atlanta, GA so if anyone has any recommendations or referrals in Atlanta, that would be cool too.
you might want to get a referral from a real estate agent. Then interview. You might also want to check ads and look for lawyers that advertise they deal with real estate. Hope this helps. Thanks.
Any specific questions that I should ask when dealing with lawyers and CPA's I know they should specialize in real estate but any other things may just be based on my personal needs. I am going to do a little more research and come up with some questions for each.
@Kenisha Forbes Thanks for the referral, I will call them on Monday.
