Two of the most important players on your real estate investment team will be your attorney and accountant. Finding a good attorney and accountant may take several years.

Know How Certain Real Estate Investing Laws Can Affect You
There are many areas of rental property investing which are regulated by certain laws and regulations. Understanding and complying with the fair housing regulations and guidelines is important for every property investor to know.
Real estate investors who are not aware of their obligations under these housing laws, could find themselves in some legal “hot water.” Make sure you and your property management team are aware of the fair housing laws and follow them in all your business policies and procedures. It’s also a good idea to consult an experienced attorney when you run across a tenant situation you are unsure of how to handle.
Make sure you are not in violation of any fair housing laws. It’s entirely too easy to find yourself in trouble because you unknowingly violated one of these laws.
Know How Your Business Is Affected By The Tax Code
Additionally, make sure you meet with a professional tax accountant at least once a year to discuss your tax obligations regarding your real estate investing business. Make sure that your accountant or CPA has experience investing in properties.
At a minimum, your CPA should have several other real estate investors and entrepreneurs as clients. If a CPA has not been in the real estate investing trenches, he will not be a good fit for you and your investment rental property business.
