Real Estate investing is a complicated business—sometimes more so than other businesses because of the large amounts of money involved. Because of this, it may be worth your time to hire someone to handle your accounting.  However, finding a good accountant can be tricky. Try these tips to help you find an accountant that will work for you:

Organization. A good organization system for receipts and contracts is vital to the success of your real estate ventures. A good accountant will help you find a way to manage those papers.

Great referrals. Just like a good realtor gets lots of referral from clients, a good accountant for real estate businesses will be on the lips of other real estate investors. Talk to your associates and find out who they love and who they don’t.

Qualifications. At the very least a good accountant will be a CPA. At best they will have other certifications and experiences that make them experts in real estate. Ask for their qualifications and make sure they are up to date on all their certifications.

Tax strategy. The right accountant for your business will have a strong tax strategy for real estate investing. They will know what deductions to take and how to leverage your growth and assets to support your investment strategies.

Many investors worry about the cost of an accountant, but the fact is a great accountant will pay for themselves. You cannot afford NOT to hire one.
