Basically as the title states, im looking for recommendations for a CPA in my area. I'm new to the rental business last year and I realized after filing this year that I need a tax strategy to continue moving forward. Any recommendations on how to shop for a CPA would be appreciated as well!

@Taylor Dasch I'm pretty comfortable with my area that I can find another house to BRRRR. Her proposal was that she puts all the money down for acquisition and rehab costs and at the end we split profits 60/40. She suggested 60/40 because I will be acting as the contractor, as I'm able to do any of the work myself from demo, Plumbing, electrical, roofing, siding, window and doors, Framing, drywall, flooring, painting. Basically everything except foundation work I am set up to be able to do so I have huge cost savings. I realize I'm sacrificing time with this model but that's because I'm still growing the nest egg of investment money, and I've figured I saved enough on contractor costs to have longer holding costs. So I'm wondering what's a fair profit split at the refinance point if she has provided all of the cash for material but I've provided all of the physical labor of contractor work. I'm used to working alone so I don't have to put a real price on the contractor work and I'm not sure how to fit that into this deal. My guess at the moment for what is fair is to put an actual handyman price on all the rehab work I do and get paid on that from the refinance. At the same time from the refinance, she would take back all the cash she put into the deal and what is left from the refinance would be split 50/50. Then the rental income afterwards, with the thought in my mind that a property management company takes 10% on average of rents for payment and also that I will be acting as the property manager for our partnership, would it be fair for me to take 10%off the top of rent for myself as a monthly bill, set aside Capex and vacancy loss for the building then the rest of the profit of rental income be split between us 50/50. I'm trying to figure out what is fair as far as what we both are contributing.

You said "Or you could pay her $ back with a certain percentage then put her on a lower percentage than you" can you expand on this thought, I don't understand.

Thank you Taylor.

So I have been working a BRRRR for a while now and I will be finishing it up soon. My mom sees my progress and numbers and wants in. She has offered me the capital for my next deal, which will likely be another BRRRR, because im able to do all of the rehab myself with out hiring any of it out. My question is, what would be the best way to split profits with her and when? Also in her original offer she suggested I would receive 60% and her to get 40%. Her ideal outcome she says is to be receiving supplemental income for her retirement that's coming up in the next few years. So she wants to be part of the rental side of the business, not just a private money lender for the BRRRR process. When I rent I will be doing the property managing so I would expect to receive more of the profits due to that. So essentially my mom wants to be a silent partner. Any opinions on how to structure this partnership would be helpful because I've never even contemplated partnering before.
