Enrolled Agent vs CPAs - Pros and Cons

[Max Gurley]

Hello! I am looking to invest in my second property in 2024, having eyes set on Louisville KY or Ohio markets. I currently have a residential-turned rental in Nashville TN. Even though the cash flow is only $65/month, the equity is working in my favor.

I live in Salt Lake City so long-distance real estate investing is my current strategy. I am desiring to build relationships with a tax professional that knows local/regional markets as I feel that could be more advantageous for my long term goals.

What are the pros + cons for working with an EA vs a CPA? 

Thanks!
