Pros of hiring a CPA:Good to throw the tax planning burden on a pro and hold him/her accountable; build an early relationship with the CPA; tax-aware RE decision going forward.Counter thoughts:Save money by filing ourselves, learn tax filing through the process; be frugal and scale first, then find CPA later; not much value provided when I only have 2 rental properties.Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
