@Bryan Rome I do have a great CPA but she is between firms right now so she will be up and running in a couple months. 

I have a 20 year professional career in private equity and currently work for a real estate private equity firm.  

This eats a significant portion of my cash flow and makes it impossible to eventually hire a property management firm once I do acquire more properties. 

You can go to H&R block and have extremely low fees, or go to a big CPA firm with specific specialties and pay huge amounts.But try reaching out to @Natalie Kolodij, she may give you an idea of what the rate for say a real estate specialized cpa is.

In California you are going to pay a lot more per hour for tax services than if you decided to find a firm in the south or the Midwest. 

@Forrest ShealyThe truth of it is, most of these A/E firms hire warm bodies, and the young engineers don't really know how to add value 'during construction'. 

The address is 38021 Euclid Ave Willoughby if you want to take a look - its an old century home that used to house a medium sized law firm.

Greetings BPers,Looking for recommendations of reputable property management firms with experience managing 25+ unit condo buildings in the Oakland, CA area.Thanks in advance!

If one mortgage foreclosed, and the other mortgage was not involved in the proceedings, the surplus goes back to the homeowner.I got in a heated discussion last week with the paralegal of a large law firm that handles a lot of foreclosures in my area and I was not happy with what she described as "normal" procedures for her office.
