 A good accountant should cost you a fair amount. (You get what you pay for) That said, they should be saving you at least as much. I do not know of anyone int he San Antonio area; however, there are many of us accountants with clients worldwide.

You want to consider a 1031 exchange to shelter gains on a rental.  If you are actually just selling it there are a great deal of things to factor in.

I have used both of these: Ed Guerrero is used by many realtors, and real estate investors. Rick Guerra is an Atty that specializes in working with RE investors.  He has filed my tax returns the last 3 years.
