Tampa Real estate CPA / tax property specialist

[Todd Groom]

I’ve kind of asked a ijt this before but have not been able to really locate anyone on here with in my budget. And to be honest there was only one person I had found and that was Anderson Partners and that was in the tens of thousands way over our budget.

We are looking for a local CPA in Tampa who specializes in realestate that we can first consult with to make sure we are set up correctly and on the right path. As well as possibly start a relationship with doing our books. New to real estate on the larger rental side and have almost 20 doors here in Tampa. I also have a medical practice that operates separately. So I'd like to see what options I have in refused store that and these operating as two separate companies. That one has partners this one is mine. I have an Attorny now who's setting up an LLC just need a good CPA.

I am not really interested in an expensive plan that cost tens of thousands of dollars like Anderson has. I understand a good accountant cost money but $11,000 for an LLC? For each one? Come on, really made me realize you gotta be super careful on here that not everyone is your friend here.

Todd, 

Are you open to working with your accountant remotely? I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation over one that is local. You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.

I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist who is willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return. You want an accountant that can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the tax consequences of the decisions you are making throughout the year.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
