Does anyone have a reliable real estate CPA/Accountant they use regularly?

My business partner and I created an investment group LLC in Texas. We will be investing in Texas and Maryland to start off. We need a CPA/Accountant who we can use regularly that is licensed in Texas & Maryland!

Here is my info:

@Dylan King

There are a number of CPAs on here who represent taxpayers such as yourself. Consider setting up meetings with 2 or 3 and see who you believe will be your best fit. Good luck.

    Dylan, 

    Are you open to working with your accountant remotely? I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation over one that is local. You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.

    I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist who is willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return. You want an accountant that can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the tax consequences of the decisions you are making throughout the year.

    Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

    @Dylan King

    You can find 20+ real estate accountants fitting your criteria on this forum, including the two who replied to you already. All of us work remotely and nationwide. 

    As to licensing, CPAs do not necessarily have to be licensed in TX (or MD) in order to work with you. Usually, it is enough for them to be licensed in their home state, and the other states recognize their out-of-state licensing as valid, at least for tax work. 

    Then there is another qualification called an Enrolled Agent (EA) which is a Federal license to do tax work, not state-specific. Either EAs or CPAs can do what you need.
