Hello, everyone. Very nice coincidence that you made a Post on this topic, @Mitch Polatin. I too am in Miami, & have been looking for an accountant who knows the ins/outs of real estate taxation & best strategies, perhaps preferably one who is a real estate investor as well.
I have a portfolio that has grown to about 25 doors, have been doing some significant renovation this year, & am contemplating the purchase of another property. I think I am in need of more than just a person who files my taxes, as I am worried I am leaving a lot of money on the table.
A move from one state to another during a year may require the filing of a part-year resident tax return. It looks like you will have to file a part-year California return.
Regarding finding a real estate CPA - there are a couple on this message board. Feel free to reach out to a couple and choose the one you feel most connected with.
