Tax professional recommendation in Houston area

[Sartaj G.]

Hi All,

I have recently started growing my SFR portfolio in Houston area and now looking for a tax professional to help me with setting up an appropriate system going forward, e.g., correctly setting up LLC or partnership with my wife, other steps to help with tax optimization. Does anyone a good recommendation for a tax professional, preferably in Houston area? Any other recommendations/pointers for me? Thanks a lot in advance.

Regarding creating an LLC in Texas, be mindful that it may require the filing of a franchise tax return in Texas.
Luckily, Texas is a commuity property state which may exempt a husband/spouse from filing a separate partnership tax filing obligation.
