Given the complexity and potential tax-saving opportunities in real estate, it's wise to consider hiring a CPA with expertise in this field.Many clients who work with non-specialists find that their non-real estate preparers lack the specific knowledge to help them minimize taxes through strategies like depreciation, the de minimis safe harbor, partial asset dispositions, 1031 exchanges, navigating real estate professional status, the short-term rental loophole, and more.If you are looking to qualify as a real estate professional, use the short-term rental strategy, or complete a 1031 exchange, I would without a doubt recommend working with a real estate CPA.

Once the deal was complete, I used delayed financing to pay back the first 80% percent and created a second loan with my family to pay back the residual.

Newcomers are treated like rookies, and they'll face unnecessary delays just because no one knows them.
