Looking for a CPA in the Woodlands / Spring Area

[Steve Ford]

Closing on my second STR this year currently, as well as having an AirBnB arbitrage investment progressing. Looking for a CPA in the Houston Area, preferably in the northern suburbs (Spring, Woodlands, Conroe). Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

I use Alma Bates for my portfolio of properties and personal tax return. Here is his website. Let him know I sent you!

You came to the right place. I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.

You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.

I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year. You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.

There are over 20 real estate accountants on this site. Reach out to a few and see who you like.

You can also ask members of your local real estate investors association for real estate accountant recommendations.

Good luck.

The good thing about Texas is that the state does not have a personal income tax.
This does give you more freedom in being able to look for an accountant outside of the state.

Rental arbitrage is a concept that most accountants will not understand what you are doing.
It is best suited ot work with an accountant who is real estate focused and can understand BP real estate lingo

Best of luck

Good point. Thank you.

Hey Steve! I would suggest you open yourself up to the idea of having an accountant that is not necessarily in your state, but is aware of the strategies you are trying to employ. The STR loophole for example. As accountants we cannot promote ourselves directly on the forum, if you want folks to reach out to you check out the classifieds!
