CPA Business for Real Estate Needs

[Elena Casey]

All, 

I've been contemplating opening my business for a while now. I'm a CPA with 12+ yrs of public and private accounting experience. I've done taxes, audits, financial statement preparation, general bookkeeping. I've also worked as a controller for a fairly large company. I think I've reached a point in my career where I would like to specialize in something I'm passionate about and maybe even be brave enough to go on my own. 

So I'm here, reaching out to you wonderful folks, for a little market research. Would an accounting business specializing in Real Estate be needed and actually used? If no, why not? If yes, what do you think the 20% of topics would be that would cover 80% of the Real Estate owner needs?

I have some ideas but I would like to leave these questions open-ended to test my own theory. If this is not the right forum, could you direct me to the right one please? Thank you in advance for your time and kind input. I'm also open to criticism. 

Respectfully, 

Elena
