Hey fellow tax pros and REI.

I used to post here a lot as I am a CPA interested in Real Estate. I stepped back to focus on my professional development and technical expertise.

What I have I missed? Its nice to see familiar faces and some new ones. Like Logan Allec, I watch his YouTube shorts and they have helped me better communicate to my coworkers in the tax controversy ddepartment.

I love taxes and talking about them. Looking forward to chatting again,

Cheers everyone!

Welcome back, Austin. Always good to see another CPA who genuinely enjoys the technical side of taxes and real estate. With the One Big Beautiful Bill passing last July, there have been some meaningful tax law changes that investors are still catching up on. It’s been interesting seeing where the biggest planning gaps and misconceptions are showing up lately.

Hi Austin,

What about real estate made you step back? I'm a tax pro working on his CPA and my goal is to be able to do both.

  Hey Eduardo,
  Very nice to meet you!
  
  When I originally started posting here, I still had a lot to learn. Over the last year, I've done a lot of CPE and research. More importantly, I’ve gained significantly more on-the-job experience in public accounting. I am hopeful that the information and perspective I can provide is more insightful, helpful, and most important correct. As a CPA, that has seen the value of Tax Planning for Real Estate Investors. I also wanted to make sure I was meeting a high standard as a CPA in providing information online. I didn't just want to be another Social Media Influencer spreading misinformation.
  I am also getting into Real Estate more, as I'm attempting to convert my previous primary residence into a rental. I'm also looking to buy rental property's. My goal is to have at least 5 rental properties.
  Looking to also share my experience to help others as much as I can.
  Looking forward to posing more!

Welcome back!

What have you missed? Not much. Ya know - some new tax laws, lots of confusion, occasional fights between fellow tax pros. The usual. :)
