I'm new to the real-estate game and over my head!!

Hi Everyone.

I just bought 13 single family home in Memphis TN. I'm in the game. I live in California and need a good tax attorney to help me structure the company. Can any one suggest a good tax attorney in the orange county areas of California? Also I'm looking for accounting software to help with the books?

Thanks Rick Mink

Hey @Rick Mink, welcome to BiggerPockets and congratulations on taking massive action to get in the game!

I'm not sure you need a tax attorney, though. Assuming your biggest concern is federal taxation, and not state, you'd probably be better served by engaging an Enrolled Agent, particularly since your investment activity will be straddling at least two states (CA and TN).

An EA can help you decide what entity structure best serves your investment goals, and can usually recommend great accounting software and bookkeeping resources.

While I'm not an EA myself, I work closely with a great one that serves one of my overseas clients. I'd be happy to make the connection for you.

For the record, I receive ZERO compensation for making this referral.

Good luck!
