Why Should you use a CPA Specializing in Real Estate?

The US tax code is very complicated.

Real estate taxation is one of the most complicated aspects of that tax code.

For this reason a generalist CPA will not be able to understand all of the complexities involved because they don’t focus on it everyday like a real estate CPA does.

It is for this reason that nearly every new client that comes to Midwest CPA has either filed a return with errors or left money on the table.

These missed opportunities and mistakes can cost you thousands of dollars.

With a CPA specializing in real estate you know you are working with someone who understands your unique tax situation.

The Benefits of a Real Estate CPA

Greater Tax Savings

You shouldn’t have to wonder if you took advantage of every savings opportunity available to you.

A CPA specializing in real estate will already know what strategies you should be using and which ones don’t apply to you.

Real Estate Expert

We hear it all the time… “My accountant doesn’t understand me! I feel like I’m teaching him!”

A real estate CPA will speak your language and give proactive guidance so you can save money and improve your portfolio.

Peace of Mind

No one wants to be audited by the IRS and if you are you want to be prepared.

A real estate CPA will help you understand the contents of your return and guide you towards maintaining strong support for the positions you take.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what point am I ready to outsource?

It depends on your unique situation and goals. For most investors we find that once you’ve reach 4 doors it will start to makes sense to hire someone to do your accounting for you.

When it comes to taxes all real estate professionals and investors can benefit from utilizing a CPA that is specialized in real estate. We can help you not only make sure your return is accurate but determine what opportunities are available to you for tax savings.

I think my prior returns have errors/missed deductions. Can you help?

Generally yes. As part of our onboarding process we always review your prior return. If it makes sense we may recommend amending the return and can assist with doing so.

Do you stay up to date with changes in the tax code?

Yes, in order to stay on top of the changes to the tax code each tax pro will take a minimum of 40 hours/year of continuing professional education.

Why are you so much more expensive than my last accountant?

Your tax bill is made up of 4 parts.

Professional fees
Your time
Your peace of mind
The taxes you pay

At Midwest CPA we aim to reduce the sum of all 4 of these parts. Not just our professional fees.

We charge more because when you get a real estate CPA you are getting additional time and attention to ensure your savings are maximized and that your return is as accurate as possible.

What types of investors do you serve?

We work with all types of real estate professionals and investors. This includes residential real estate, commercial property, syndicators, flippers, wholesalers, agents, and more!
