Hi Columbus investors! Would anyone be kind enough to recommend a RE broker they really liked? 

Hi Shyd, I run some of my properties as mid-term rentals for travelling professionals outside of the healthcare industry, and I absolutely would love to help and discuss this further with you. As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!

Another EA here. The short answer: there's no meaningful difference between CPAs and EAs when they specialize in real estate taxation.

Now, details. CPAs are trained and licensed in accounting, and federal taxes are a small part of that. Some CPAs never touch taxes in their life, and others do tax returns only. EAs are trained and licensed in federal taxation only. So CPAs have a much broader area of expertise, while EAs are taxation specialists. 

That said, many CPAs choose to specialize in taxation that makes them even with EAs. Both EAs and CPAs have the same rights when it comes to representing clients before the IRS. EAs are rumored to be less expensive than CPAs on average, but I don't think it's the case in specialized areas like real estate.
