The real estate focused CPAs on Bigger Pockets are all set up to serve clients from anywhere in the country or world.Perhaps you might want a CPA that specializes in real estate rather than one that is physically close to you?  

The classification of multifamily properties is not set in stone.Some people look at it by Construction Year exclusively, and others weigh in the Property Conditions, Ammenities, etc.Here is a very general classification by construction year:Class A: 0-15 years oldClass B: 16-29 years oldClass C: 30+ years oldClass D: 30+ years old in high crime areas.To answer your specific question about section8 being a Class B or A, I’d say it is not likely.
