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 should also 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.

However, there are times when actual costs are not available and a methodology must be selected in order to determine the estimate.

Waste of time, huge room for error and zero reason for a customer to do this.....any Contractor worth his salt will have better pricing/quality/selection on the big stuff and will have guys on his crew that can do those dreaded 'parts runs' for the little stuff. 

I’m eager to connect with experienced investors and would love any advice or mentorship on getting started, from financing and property selection to management strategies.Looking forward to learning from this community and contributing where I can!

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

More likely is that they have been 'touched' by a many people providing the same service and narrow their selection to the few where they formed an favorable impression.

It appears they quickly know how to adjust and select the right property.

Managing 17 shopping centers and selecting sites for new developments is no small feat—kudos to you!

I'd argue that there are very select zip codes where this strategy works.
