Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Hey Trevor, shoot me a message to see if we can work on this together, but while i HAVE NOT seen this, I can connect with some PMs to see if they have experience doing it.

Hello @Jerry A.Feel free to message me if you have any questions but I would seek out a broker who has access to over 220+ lenders to help do the shopping for you.
