Do I need a Real Estate CPA and a different one for my business?
I own a small business, so I already have a tax guy. Now I'm buying real estate investments to rent out to tenants, and I've read that you really should get a CPA who specializes in Real Estate.
How does this work? Do I need to fire my normal tax guy, or do I hire the Real Estate tax guy and he works WITH my normal tax guy?
Thanks and let me know if you have any advice!

You will find most accountants that specialize in real estate are far more experienced in business as we work with both active businesses and passive rentals.
