Need CPA and RS Agent in San Antonio

[Polo Vazquez]

Good day!

I recently got transferred to San Antonio from Kilgore Texas and I need a property to live in. I'd love to house hack a duplex or triplex if possible. I have a good w2 income and money saved up to do it I just need to find a property. I already own 2 duplexes in Edinburg Texas and will possibly begin investing in San Antonio as well but for now I just want a property to house hack. Can anyone recoment a Real State Agent in the area to help me.

Also, it is tax season and I was wondering if any of you knew any RS oriented CPA to file my taxes with.

Thanks in advance

You may want to send a message to the thread starter of the above links.

“Hi _____,

I noticed that you recently requested to connect with a CPA in _______. I am currently in the market for a CPA and I would like to inquire who you ended up choosing. Thank you for connecting and let me know if there is anyway that I can help.
Thanks,______

2. Keyword Alerts - Add the keyword alerts "San Antonio" and/or "Texas". You will notice that there are certain members frequently respond to posts that have these keywords. Send a message to these members and see who they use as a CPA. Connecting with members who have a pro membership have a higher tendency so be more serious and provide you a good recommendation.

3. Real Estate Networking Events - These events contain investors with similar tax profiles as you. Network and see who they are using for a CPA. You can find local networking events through the BP events section or meetup.com

4. Reach out to CPA who works with clients remotely - You may want to reach out to a CPA that works with clients remotely. Working with a remote CPA who has experience in real estate is better than working with a local CPA who does not serve real estate investors. Technology advancements such as email, phone calls, skype has enabled communication with a remote CPA to be seamless. There are many CPA's on this site that work with clients remotely.

In the meantime - feel free to ask any tax related question. I would be more than happy to help give my opinion.

Good luck in your search!
