@John Jeffrey - - I work with @Steven Hamilton II who is up on the far north side.

You don't need to be super close to your accountant as long as he's a rock star like Steven is.

Just remember, you get what you pay for with accountants and attorneys.

    @John Jeffrey congrats on your first property!

    Bernard Wiczer. The guy is a CPA and vet in real estate law, went to University of Chicago law school. His rates are very reasonable too.

    You can DM me for his contact info if interested.

    @John Jeffrey

    Congrats on getting under contract.

    A tip for new investors is to open up a separate bank account for your business/rental related activities. This will allow you to easily determine at the end of the year what is business and what is personal.

    I would also download an app to keep track of your miles that you drive for business related purposes.

    This will all be handy when you work with your accountant.
