If you are going to be in business, any kind of business, including the RE business, you should understand business, take business classes, go to the SBA, go business tax seminars, business clubs in your community will have business leaders and others that can advise in many areas that will only broaden your abilities to operate in your business.As to the OP, I don't really buy the loophole definition or the stab at it, thing is there really aren't repetitious operations or tricks used long term to build wealth or advance yourself.

If you are still unable to find a local CPA - Feel free to broaden your search by looking for a CPA that works with clients remotely.
