CPA fees for strategy and filing

[Santosh Prabakar]

I'm based in CA but have three out of state rentals in TX. I've been doing my personal taxes using turbo tax for the past 12 years. Since I have rentals now, thinking of getting a good CPA. What's the typical fee CPA charges every year to help with taxes and real estate strategy?

I completely agree with @Chris Picciurro regarding the value proposition and having 2 separate engagements - one for tax preparation and one for tax planning.  Every situation is unique and I always recommend just reaching out to a few CPAs so you can share more information about your particular circumstances and they can provide their feedback.
