How much does a real estate accountant cost?
Rates vary, but expect to pay $150–$450/hour for most CPAs. Complex planning (like 1031 exchanges or audit representation) can go up to $1,000/hour. Monthly services often range from $500–$2,000/month.
What does a real estate accountant actually do?
They track income and expenses, structure tax-efficient deals, assist with depreciation and cost segregation, and help with capital gains planning. Many also advise on audits and long-term investment strategies.
What should I expect to pay annually?
Depending on your activity level, real estate-focused accounting can range from $1,000/year for basic tax prep to $10,000+ for ongoing advisory and complex filings.
Can a real estate CPA help with 1031 exchanges?
Yes—many specialize in this and can help structure the transaction, file proper forms, and time it correctly to defer capital gains.
What’s the difference between a general accountant and a real estate CPA?
Real estate CPAs understand passive activity rules, cost segregation, debt basis, depreciation recapture, and deal structuring. A generalist likely won’t catch opportunities specific to your industry.
