Looking for CPA in Sacramento

[Brett Johnson]

Hi everyone!  My wife and I are getting ready to jump into the real estate investment game, and I have been looking for and vetting a number of CPAs and tax advisors.  We don’t have a terribly complex tax situation as of now but we are looking for any recommendations for good real estate CPAs in the Sacramento region.  We are ok paying a bit of a premium, but having a hard time justifying a large capital investment into some of the more large scale operators that frequent some of the popular podcasts.  We are planning on buying our first sfh rental property before the end of the year, and am hoping to find a good cpa to partner with as we begin To build our portfolio.  Thanks in advance for any and all help/recommendations!

Brett,

Are you open to working with your accountant remotely? I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation over one that is local. You should consider working with your CPA remotely to expand your options.

I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist who is willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return. You want an accountant that can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the tax consequences of the decisions you are making throughout the year.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
