Looking for Oregon CPA and Real Estate Attorney

[Cody Paratore]

Hey BP Community! 

I am still on the hunt for my first property and while I wait, I am setting up my team. 

So, I would love to get some personal recommendations from the community. I have spoken to one attorney so far and he was great. But I am looking to interview a few and see which one offers the best services for what I am trying to accomplish. 

I also need a CPA. I don't need one for accounting, mostly he or she would be for tax planning and preparation. If you have any recommendations I would greatly appreciate it. 

I am located in the Salem area so any recommendations around here would be sweet but not required. 

Thanks!

Well, if you're looking for a RE tranactional atty, Gary Kahn in SE Portland does a good job.  I broker apts and he get involved in some.

What are you looking for an atty to do for you?

For your first property you can track the revenue with Stessa. It will keep track of everything so you can take it to your accountant at tax season and get it done. That is really all you need for taxes. 

If you're still looking for a deal I'd recommend finding a high output realtor, a good property manager and get pre approved with a lendor. They will find the deal, get you financed and get a tenant in place.

The attorney would be to help structure liability.

I already have a realtor and lender. Just waiting to find a property that works!

I do not have a property manager. I’ll be house hacking so I’ll do management myself for the first little bit.

I totally understand that for just having someone file taxes, it can wait until tax season. I plan to use tenant cloud which can record everything an accountant will need. Along with being able to produce reports for them. At the moment I want to just chat with a CPA about structuring everything for the best tax benefits.

I’m always looking for recommendations. I see that you’re just north of me. Do you have any Property management companies that you recommend?

That's awesome prep work. It will definitely make everything easier in the long run. 

Unfortunately not. I am an active wholesaler in this market but all of my buy and hold investments are out of state. A quick google search can get you quite a few different names to qualify though, I'd start there. 

What's your criteria? Just curious.

No worries, appreciate the info.

My wife and I are looking for a house hack small

Multifamily.

-3-4 units

-$550,000 and under.

-Roughly in the Salem area

-Prefer something that needs a little work or has under market rents so we can add value over our stay

-if possible someone who is selling two because a partner wants to buy one also. Side by side would be easier for managing.

Most of those are requests and not a deal breaker, we are open to any 3-4 unit in the Salem/Keizer area right now.
