Accounting, Tax, Business help
I recently purchased my first investment property (a duplex) and now have a property manager in place and both units rented. Trying to figure out how to manage the financial side of things. Do I need an accountant, tax guru, financial adviser or some combination of all three. I want to do thing right from the start and not have any surprises at the end of the year that leave me scrambling. Feeling like I probably need to set up an S-corp, but this is certainly not my area of expertise. Any advice or suggestions? Thanks.

For the love of baby Jesus don't set up an S corp.
You need a tax pro.
There are lots here on BP- I'd reach out to a few and see who you click with, let them help you get setup right from the start.
I wouldn't work with any one who says their a guru
and a financial adviser is for investment choices, not tax help.
Hope this helps!
