If so, it really does open up your options as you would most benefit from a CPA who specializes in real estate.

Whether it's advice on evaluating properties, financing options, or just general insights into the Denver real estate market, I'm all ears.I'm here not just to take, but also to give back to the community in any way I can as I grow and learn.
