Real Estate Tax Accountant - Key Attributes

[James Shen]

Hi BP Community -

I'm starting to build out my real estate team and currently looking for a RE Tax Accountant, however, I am not too familiar with how to distinguish what to look for in them. Are there any guides or just general guidance on what to look out for when searching and partnering with RE Tax Accountants? Would definitely appreciate any insights around this, or any anecdotes / preferences around this topic.

Separately, what's the priority in terms of partnering with a RE Tax Accountant vs. a RE Tax Attorney? I'm not too familiar with how they necessarily differentiate with one another, so would be great to better understand who I should be trying to seek first.

For context, I'm currently beginning my journey to invest in multifamily buy-and-holds in NJ, particularly in Northern Jersey (Hudson County).

Again, really appreciate any insight from the community here. Happy to discuss further, feel free to message me directly!

Best,
James
