Full-time couple wrote a big check to IRA. Neither of us wants to quit the job this moment.

I got agent license now and plan to start invest. 

Can anybody give a help to find a good CPA who knows real estate and can help us based on our overall financial situation? What is the market value for a consultant from this type of CPA?

We read Amanda Han's book and read most her blog post to teach ourselves.

Appreciate your helps!

    You do not necessarily need a local cpa so did you reach out to Amanda to see if she can? A way to get some good local guys is to go to the local reai events here and ask the investors who they use. I have a new guy I'm going to give a try this year but he's in proven so far but is an investor himself. I can give you his name/number if you want to private message me in case it is frowned upon for advertising

    Thanks Quinton!!

    Could you please share with me the new person's contact information?

     I send one email to Amanda and is waiting for an possible email from her.

    I heard the CEO of BP said Amanda charges for $1000 per hour, do you know does that true? That is for tax plan or general tax work?

    Quinton,

    Could you share the information with me when you are convenience? I like to know how do you like this new CPA? I download the guide to interview and good CPA from Amanda's company web and read it.

    After Hiring Amanda, I could not be happier. I would recommend you give her a shot.

    Your CPA does not need to be local to you.

    We are flippers in the Tampa area looking for a local CPA to manage our books. Does anyone have any recommendations? We would prefer someone local. Thank you!

    @Linda Merus, My lender pointed out that just because they are a Lawyer or a CPA does not mean that they know Real Estate Law. CPA would also cost more and an Accountant who is keeping up with the Real Estate Tax Laws should be sufficient. I have not found a Lawyer or an Accountant in Tampa, for thirty years, who talked to me like a human being or a paying client. They all make out like they are soooo important and you are just some ingnoramous. No friends in this town and you are the one who is paying their bill.
