Quote from @David Epstein:
Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.
A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.
I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning 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.
Good luck.

@Account Closed
I recommend that have a consultation with your tax accountant and/or financial advisor on ways to reduce your taxes.
Another option is to invest in the market instead of paying down a mortgage. The S&P 500 is up 25% this year. This might not reduce your taxes, but it's a better use/return for your money than paying down a 4% or 5% mortgage.
Good luck.

Quote from @Steve Crisp:
Julio, great information. I had my first meeting with my accountant and she recommended NOT going with a cost segregation. Her recommendation made me loose confidence in her experience. It’s a Single family home purchased for $250K with land value at $12K. She based her opinion on the income I received this year. It’s a short term rental started in Oct 2024 and earning during this off season is under $10K but cost segregation has nothing to do with rental income only depreciation of the property and with bonus depreciation being 60% this year I think it’s worth it. Is she correct or am I spot on?
If you meet the material participation guidelines and qualify for the short term rental loophole you should get a free cost segregation estimate to see how much you would benefit from the accelerated depreciation.
Good luck.
