I always find it ironic when a business owner wants an accountant who is bad at math.

If the "last guy" couldn't calculate his own prices well enough to stay in business, how exactly is he going to help you run yours?
Read that text again. It’s the shortest business lesson you’ll ever learn.

As a CPA based in Texas and serving clients all the way to Tennessee, I stopped trying to compete on price a long time ago. Now, I compete on partnership.When I’m looking to take on a new client, I don’t look for the biggest budget. I look for these three things:

1️⃣ Value Alignment: Do they see accounting as a commodity to be bought cheap, or an asset to help them grow?
2️⃣ Responsiveness: Are they ready to communicate and do the work with me?
3️⃣ Longevity: Are they looking for a quick fix for this tax season, or a strategy for the next ten?

If you want the guy who does it for $1,850, keep searching. Just don't be surprised when he’s not answering the phone next year.

✅ $3.3 Trillion. One Big, Beautiful Bill.

President Trump just signed one of the most business-friendly tax packages ever.

Here’s what it means for YOU 👇

🇺🇸 2017 cuts = permanent bigger child credits, SALT relief, new overtime & tips deduction.
🚜 Small biz & farmers win more expensing, rural credits, reinvestment incentives.
🛡 Federal priorities shift more border & defense, less Medicaid & food aid.
📈 $3.3T deficit inflation & rates may climb.

Why you care:
→ More post-tax 💵 to reinvest
→ Tailwinds for ag & rural real estate
→ New opportunities in overlooked markets
→ Inflation & rate changes = deal flow shifts

This bill isn’t just historic it’s a playbook.

I’ve reviewed hundreds of tax returns from "cheap" preparers.
And guess what?

They almost always cost more in the long run in missed deductions, bad classifications, and audit risk.
If you own rental properties, these are just 22 real mistakes I’ve seen:
⚠️ No depreciation taken ever
⚠️ Down payment classified as an expense
⚠️ STRs on Schedule C instead of E
⚠️ Grouping all rentals into one column (why?)
⚠️ Electing out of bonus depreciation for no reason
⚠️ Not filing Form 8824 for a 1031
⚠️ Classifying STRs as residential when they’re non-res
⚠️ Rental pulled from an S-Corp no clue it's taxable
⚠️ 80/20 building-to-land split used blindly on every property
⚠️ Missed REPS because they didn’t use the right forms
⚠️ QBI? What's that?
⚠️ Improvements expensed. Repairs capitalized. Total chaos.
⚠️ “No need for a cost seg those are illegal” (yes, someone said this)
💥 Want me to keep going? I’ve got pages of these.

👉 If you’re serious about real estate investing, you need a real tax advisor.
One who lives in this stuff.
Ask them:

“What % of your clients are real estate investors?”
If the answer’s not close to 100%, start running.

💰 Price matters. But accuracy saves you more.
And if you ever get audited? Accuracy protects you too.
