Do I need a CPA as a rookie investor?

[Brian Thomas]

I bought my first small multifamily BRRRR deal in January of 2019 and started collecting rent for it in October of 2019. I am assuming now that I own a property, it would be wise for me to get a CPA because I have heard plenty of times that a good CPA will save you more than what you pay them. Where should I look to find a good real estate savvy CPA and what questions should I ask to make sure they are a good choice for me? I live in San Antonio by the way. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply!

Brian, the best source of CPA and other members of your team (like contractors, lenders, real estate agents, etc) has always been REFERRALS. So attend your local REIA and ask other investors to refer you the right CPA.
