Do you have a W2 job or do you own a business that is not involved in real estate? If yes, it will be difficult for you to qualify for REPS. To qualify you would have to spend more hours managing the ADU than you do working on your W2 or your business. Please consult with an accountant specializing in real estate taxation.

Good luck.

Bigger Pockets is a great place to find an accountant specializing in real estate taxation.

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 specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.

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.

One way to avoid capital gains is to turn the flip into a rental after the rehab and then do a 1031 exchange into a more expensive property.

Here are a few questions. 

How long have they been preparing taxes?

How many real estate investor clients do they have?

Do they own real estate investments?

How much do they charge and what's included?

Do they offer tax planning and what does it cost?

Do they offer any other services that would benefit you?

Good luck. 

@Jeanette Land

I always recommend using a tax professional. A good tax professional can save you more than they charge you. 

You also get peace of mind knowing it's done correctly, that you're not missing any deductions and that you won't get audited.

Good luck.
