I've seen many posts that opportunities really vary depending on location, but I just don't know how you can find something that cash flows or even comes close given rates.

The choice to invest now depends on your money and how much risk you can take.

As a specialized real estate CPA, I'm here to provide expert guidance on your most complex tax matters, from navigating 1031 exchanges and cost segregation studies to optimizing your rental property deductions and handling multi-entity structures.

I provide huge value to them by delivering a product for their clients, and they provide huge value to me since I get more eyes into the property that I'm selling and am favored from an already built-in relationship and trust between the agent and buyer.
