@Khalid Nathan AleemThe book on Tax Strategies for the Savvy RE Investor is a very good book.I would argue to give the book a read even with the new tax law changes.The book opens your eyes to deductions that you may be entitled to that your current accountant may not bring to your attention.I am also not sure if the authors will provide an update anytime soon.

I have had to politely argue with section 8 case workers sometimes and they can make mistakes in the calculations due to them not giving me credit for paying for water and sewer or the upgraded condition of my properties.

I see a lot of inflated ARVs and you could argue soft rehab budgets (hard to say since everyone rehabs to different levels and some may hire a GC versus GC themselves - all of which makes a difference in your cost).

I would argue that working with a remote CPA who has experience in real estate will likely be a better fit for you than a local CPA who is a Jack of all Trades.
