Excited to Join! Real Estate Accountant Helping People Pay Less to the IRS

[Grace Seuell]

Hey everyone, I’m Grace 👋 I run Brick & Ledger, a firm focused on real estate bookkeeping and tax strategy. I’m also an investor myself so I know the ins and outs from both sides of the table.

Since I know intros are more useful when they actually help, here are 3 tax deductions I see real estate investors miss all the time:

1. Home office deduction – If you manage your rentals from home, part of your housing costs may be deductible.

2. Start-up costs – Expenses you had before your property was even “in service” (like inspections, travel, legal fees) can often be written off.

3. Cost segregation + bonus depreciation – Breaking out components of a property (appliances, flooring, furniture) lets you accelerate write-offs, often front-loading tens of thousands in deductions.

I joined BiggerPockets to connect, keep learning, and share insights like this. If you ever get stuck on bookkeeping, depreciation schedules, or trust account compliance, feel free to tag me in threads—I’m happy to help.
