Mason Myers How Much Should I Pay for a CPA / Do I Even Need One?

@Mason Myers, I can't ballpark a cost since my bookkeeping firm doesn't provide tax services but if you plan to grow your REI activities I recommend making a relationship with an REI-savvy tax professional now as you're just starting so they can follow your journey from the get-go.That's what I did as an REI when I was first starting out and it paid off as I continued acquiring properties and needed tax guidance along the way.Once you have more REI activity, a great REI-savvy tax strategist as well as a tax filer will be worth their weight in gold.If you want to chat in more detail about all of this send me a DM.
