TAX DEPRECIATION FOR LANDLORD

[Allison Flores]

Hi, I am new to investing, I do have some properties with my mom but I am now looking to expand our investment and to dive into tax benefits since I was so unaware of it for so many years. 

Does property depreciation apply to single family homes rentals for tax benefits ? if so, how do you file for that? do you need a CPA to do that for you? 

I live in Miami, so If anyone can recommend a CPA specialized in RE Tax Law that would be very helpful. 

Can one have a CPA in another state? is it recommended since laws may vary from state to state ? any thoughts on this?

Any guidance on this is very helpful!

Thank you.
