FrequentlyAsked Questions

How much does a real estate CPA cost?

Rates typically range from $150 to $450/hour. Complex work like 1031 exchange strategy or audit prep may exceed $1,000/hour.

What does a real estate accountant do?

They provide tax planning, depreciation schedules, cost segregation studies, 1031 exchange guidance, and entity structuring for real estate investors.

Is it worth hiring a CPA for my rental property?

Yes—especially if you own multiple properties, use short-term rentals, or want to minimize taxes with depreciation and other strategies.

What’s the difference between a property accountant and a real estate CPA?

A property accountant handles rent collection and operations. A real estate CPA focuses on strategic tax planning for property owners and investors.

What’s the best tax structure for a real estate investor?

It depends—LLCs are popular, but your CPA may recommend partnerships or S-Corps depending on liability, ownership, and tax goals.

How to Choose the Right Real Estate CPA

Real estate client focus: Ask what percentage of their clients are property investors
Experience with complex strategies: Look for familiarity with 1031 exchanges, cost segregation, opportunity zones, etc.

Proactive tax planning: Not just filing returns, but creating year-round strategies

Transparent pricing: Ask if they charge hourly, per service, or on retainer

Clear communication: Complex tax topics should be broken down in simple terms
