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.

Quote from @Trevor Finn: Hey @Michael Wentzel,Congratulations on an impressive real estate career thus far!

Like the emphasis on selecting efficient investments because of their economic prospects not because of their potential tax benefits.

Impressive!

Over the past few years, many groups have raised funds and acquired properties, promising investors impressive passive returns.But here’s the real question: how have these syndications actually performed?

If you don't do the homework, you will give them the impression you may not be up to doing the homework with real estate investing.

I am truly impressed by your story and can greatly appreciate your action to leave the corporate world. 

Just find the tenant before you select the site/build the building because these companies have very specific requirements and they are not all the same. 

I use saved responses in Zillow messenger - I suppose I could try to integrate AI to automatically select a response based on certain criteria…But what else is taking you that long?

Many people start out active because they want exposure to real estate and don't know that you can start out passive - you can effectively hire the asset manager and supply capital to the investment.You can have great success as an active or a passive investor - but it is important to understand the difference and to select whichever option matches your skills and resources the best.Good luck!
