2018 Honolulu CPA recommendations

[Karl Platzer]

Hello Honolulu bigger pockets people,

I'm in need of a good CPA on Oahu. Just as I'm expanding my real estate business my accountant is winding his accounting business down. He is amazing and he was referred by a friend who has employed him for thirty plus years. That's a long time and he is happly managing his clients. When I asked him to start an LLC he smiled and said find someone half his age to work with. So before I turn to yelp and the yellow pages, I was hoping a fellow fan of bigger pockets could point me in the right direction. Looking for a CPA that knows rental property tax law idealy.

Mahalo,

Karl

Aloha @Karl Platzer ,

I've used Diane Sandlin, CPA, for many years now. She's very REI savvy, and she's based out of Kailua. I have over 20 entities to hold my Hawaii properties, and she helps me keep it all together. She does bookkeeping and taxes for many RE investors here on Oahu. She doesn't always accept new clients, though, depending on how busy she is. Google her contact info.

If you need to set up new LLCs in Hawaii, it's pretty easy to do it online. It takes about 15 minutes and costs $72.50. Go to my YouTube channel if you want to see a video on how to do it online.
