CPA recommendations for a new investor

Hi all,

Looking to get started investing in the SE Michigan area (going to start with single family vs duplex) - primarily looking at Warren and Port Huron markets. Wondering if anyone out there has a CPA they would recommend I could reach out to who is reliable but won't break the bank for someone just starting out. Thanks!

    If you buy a duplex, will it be 100% a rental or will you plan to house-hack it?

    There are many accountants on biggerpockets that are worth interviewing to be your accountant. I would interview a couple and go with the one you feel most connected with.

    Best of luck!

    Appreciate the response. Sent out a few requests to connect with some CPAs I found earlier! This will be 100% rental.

    Mathew Gurin is another good one he actually has rental himself so you can’t beat that.

    @Steve Wilson

    Reach out to a few of the accountants here on BP and see who you connect with.

    Consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.

    I would also recommend looking for an 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.

    Good luck.

    There's a lot of great CPAs on here. I'd recommend reaching out to a few people that are active in the forums and seeing who you connect well with

    Welcome to the investing journey! Warren and Port Huron are solid areas to start—lots of value opportunities if you buy right. I actually work with investors in that region on tax planning and entity setup, helping them get started without overpaying or overcomplicating things.

    If you’d like, I can share a few things to look for when choosing a CPA who truly understands real estate (and a few to avoid). Would that help?
