Hi everyone,

Can anybody recommend a real estate CPA in the Lehigh Valley or Carbon County area? 

Thanks,

Without trying to sound self-serving, I got into this business because there were few CPAs specializing in real estate. Trust me, specialization makes a huge difference. Mark may be in a fine situation, but if that accountant isn't specializing in real estate or primarily dealing with real estate clients, there's logically no way that accountant can stay abreast of all the consistently changing tax information.

I've turned several potential business clients down simply because their businesses weren't in the real estate industry and I knew there was another CPA out there that was specializing in those particular businesses that could help them better than I. 

Going with a generalist or some random CPA may be more feasible, but it's more feasible for a reason. You're leaving money on the table.
