Real estate investing comes with unique tax rules and opportunities that can be complex to navigate. A CPA specialized in real estate helps investors structure their entities correctly, ensures all required tax forms are filed accurately and on time, and develops strategic tax plans to maximize deductions like bonus depreciation. Beyond taxes, a CPA keeps your books organized and financial records clear, so you can focus on growing your portfolio with confidence. In short, having a knowledgeable CPA is essential to protecting your investments and optimizing your returns.

My Online Accountant specializes in tax services for real estate investors who own between 1 and 25 rental properties. Our clients include buy-and-hold investors, part-time real estate entrepreneurs, and sydicates. Many work full-time jobs but invest in rentals on the side to build long-term wealth and financial freedom. We also serve a smaller segment of small business owners. As a fully virtual CPA firm, we proudly work with clients across all 50 states, providing expert guidance no matter where their properties are located.

No, you don’t need a CPA in your state. Unlike attorneys, CPAs are licensed to work with clients in all 50 states. In fact, we currently serve real estate investors and business owners across the entire U.S.

Most tax strategies for real estate investors and small business owners are driven by the federal tax code, not state-specific rules. While there are some state nuances, a knowledgeable CPA can research and address those as needed. What matters most is working with a firm that specializes in your industry — not your ZIP code. Don’t let geography be a barrier.

If you’re a real estate investor looking for a modern, transparent approach to taxes—with a focus on minimizing liabilities and building a proactive strategy — MOA may be the perfect fit.

Our pricing starts at $1,500 per year for individuals with 1–2 rental properties in a single state, and $2,000+ for business entities. These are baseline rates, and more complex tax situations—such as multiple states, short-term rentals, partnerships, or cost segregations — will be priced accordingly.

Every client is different, and we tailor our pricing to reflect the complexity of your returns and the value we provide. Our goal is to offer clear, upfront pricing that aligns with your needs—so you always know what to expect.

Absolutely. We use a fully encrypted, secure client portal to protect your sensitive information. Each client gets a unique username and password — just like online banking — to ensure your data stays safe and confidential.

Our client portal is a centralized hub where clients can access and manage everything related to their tax and accounting needs. This includes sharing documents, signing engagement letters, paying invoices, communicating securely, and staying updated on deadlines.

Schedule a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation with a senior partner. If you are interested in becoming a client after the consultation, an engagement letter will be sent to you outlining our responsibilities as your tax advisor. You can then review, electronically sign, and return your engagement letter to us. At that time, we will provide you with access to our client portal and send you an information request for the items needed to begin servicing you.
