Greg Sistrunk.
Very helpful, very thorough. I had not filed taxes in several years. I came to Damien's Law Firm for assistance to get them filed and caught up. They were very thorough and able to take the stress of my taxes off of my shoulders. They got me caught up, and I felt a huge weight lifted off of me. The price was very reasonable, especially considering the amount of work and dedication it took on their behalf. I highly recommend you use their services for all your tax needs.

My tax preparer made a lot of bad mistakes and it got me audited and in a bad spot with the IRS. I googled tax lawyers and got Damien's Law firm info and gave them a call. From the first phone call, even till now, they have been very professional and very thorough. I highly recommend this firm. They have saved me well over $30,000 to date!!

Free Consultation — No Pressure
Not sure where your books stand? Call us or fill out the form. We'll review your real estate bookkeeping situation at no cost and tell you exactly what we can do.
Real estate involves financial transactions that most businesses don't deal with — property depreciation, mortgage interest splits between principal and interest, 1031 exchange tracking, capital improvement versus repair distinctions, and multi-entity structures. Each of these has specific IRS treatment that requires accurate recordkeeping. Errors can cost thousands in missed deductions or trigger audit exposure.
Common deductible expenses include mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, property management fees, depreciation, travel to properties, professional services (legal, accounting), advertising, and utilities paid by the landlord. The key is that every expense must be properly documented and categorized. Our bookkeeping process captures all of these systematically throughout the year.
Residential rental properties are depreciated over 27.5 years; commercial properties over 39 years. Each year, you can deduct a portion of the property's value (excluding land) as depreciation — even if the property is appreciating in value. This is one of the most powerful tax advantages in real estate and requires accurate tracking from day one. We maintain proper depreciation schedules for every property you own.
Yes. Real estate agents have their own bookkeeping needs — commission income tracking, business expense categorization, self-employment tax management, and quarterly estimated tax preparation. We work with both investors and active agents to keep their books clean and their tax obligations properly managed throughout the year.
Absolutely. Many real estate investors hold properties in separate LLCs for liability protection. We manage bookkeeping across multiple entities, keeping each one clean and separate while giving you a consolidated view of your entire portfolio's performance. This is a common structure we work with regularly.
Fill out the form or call us for a free consultation. We'll discuss your portfolio, how many properties you own, what entities you use, and the current state of your books. From there we'll outline exactly what's needed and get started quickly.
