Looking for a lawyer and CPA in Asheville, NC area.

[Robert Ombres]

I am looking for a lawyer and CPA in Asheville, NC area. If you are or can refer a lawyer and CPA in this area to assist/consult me and my business partner please contact me.  We would like someone to help in forming, drafting operating agreement, and consulting us on legalities and tax code. I can find any random lawyer and CPA to assist us, but am hoping to find someone either an investor themselves or intimately knowledgeable in small business and real estate investing- so I'm posting here. I appreciate any interested parties or recommendations! Thanks!

I have a few friends in NC. One of whom I HIGHLY respect. Shoot me over a PM and I can give you some information.

You definitely need someone qualified, does not have to be a CPA, could be an Enrolled Agent or an attorney. Just make sure they specialize in tax and have significant experience dealing with real estate investors.

Here is a great list of questions to ask a potential accountant: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/7044...

Also check out the www.NAEA.org page in your search. It should help you find someone local. If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.

If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.

For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone. I even use Skype and TeamViewer to communicate with clients so I'd highly recommend looking for one of the best with great references that interviews well with you.

So look for someone you can connect with that works out for your situation.

Feel free to ask here if you have questions
