Real Estate-focused CPAs

[Eric Chiang]

Hi BP community! I'm a new real estate investor about to close on my first househack (duplex near Riverside, CA). I had a few questions regarding CPAs focused on REI:

• At what point in your REI career did you find a CPA?
• How much can I expect to pay a CPA?
• If you have used a CPA for REI, how did you find your CPA and was using a CPA worth the cost?
• What are some common questions that you ask for vetting CPAs?

Thank you in advance for the help!

I use a CPA that was recommended from a friend of mine who also invest. I began using this CPA as soon as As I started collecting passive income from real estate . When I started out one property plus W-2 income ran $350.

You can save yourself money by being organized with your expenses/income, anything to make it quicker and easier for your CPA. Personally the advice I have gotten from my CPA plus the fact I do not have to stress about doing my taxes makes it worth it.
