I help real estate investors scale portfolios tax-efficiently and sleep soundly when the IRS comes knocking. CPA, MS Taxation, 40+ years building defensible tax strategies that accelerate depreciation, maximize leverage, and defer gains through properly executed 1031 exchanges. What I architect for scaling investors: Cost segregation studies that accelerate depreciation without audit red flags. Multi-state filing strategies that eliminate double taxation. Material participation documentation that satisfies IRS testing. 1031 exchange structuring that preserves your deferral when you're ready to trade up. Passive loss planning that turns suspended deductions into usable tax savings. The difference between average tax prep and what I deliver is documentation. When you take a $40,000 cost segregation deduction, I ensure you have the engineering study, contemporaneous records, and statutory support to defend it. When you claim material participation, we build the time logs before the return gets filed—not after the audit notice arrives. The Wealth Train approach: Strategic tax planning isn't about this year's return. It's about building a system where accelerated depreciation, leveraged financing, passive loss management, and 1031 exchanges work together across your entire portfolio. Done correctly, you're acquiring properties with tax-deferred gains, writing off improvements in year one instead of over 27.5 years, and building generational wealth that compounds. Done incorrectly, you're paying 20% negligence penalties, defending positions you can't support, and watching a $15,000 adjustment turn into a $30,000 problem after penalties and interest. How we work together: TAX SITUATION ANALYSIS - $150 Not sure what you actually need to file? Most multi-property investors are missing state returns, entity filings, or optimization opportunities. My Tax Situation Analysis includes: ✅ Complete review of filing requirements (federal, multi-state, entity) ✅ Identification of compliance gaps ✅ Written summary you can keep ✅ Detailed proposal if we proceed (analysis fee fully credited) Perfect for: Multi-state property owners Active traders unsure about wash sales, trader status, or reporting Business owners evaluating entity structure Anyone with a "complicated" tax situation Investment: $150 (applies 100% to engagement if we proceed) I prepare returns based on tax law and documented facts. I don't reverse-engineer returns to hit a number you'd prefer to pay. I don't negotiate my fees against other CPAs. If you need an advisor who reads Tax Court cases, understands regulatory framework, and builds audit-proof positions—let's talk.

As both an investor and a Realtor in Central Ohio, I’m passionate about helping people discover investment opportunities that align with their unique goals. As a CPA with a master’s in Accounting, I thrive on analyzing numbers to identify properties with strong potential and ensure my clients understand the tax advantages that come with real estate, helping them build lasting wealth. My journey in real estate began in San Diego, CA, but I relocated to Columbus, OH, after recognizing the incredible opportunities in this dynamic, fast-growing market. Since then, I’ve built my own portfolio of duplexes, managed extensive renovations to boost property value, and gained hands-on experience with managing long-term and mid-term rentals. Along the way, I’ve developed a trusted network of contractors, lenders, and industry professionals—resources I’m always happy to share with my clients. For me, real estate is about more than buying and selling—it’s about building a future. It’s about creating long-term wealth so you can focus on what truly matters: your family, your passions, and your dreams. My mission is to make the process seamless, guiding you every step of the way and connecting you with the right people to support your journey. Whether you’re just exploring the idea of investing or you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to help. Let’s work together to turn your real estate goals into reality!
