Every small mistake can mean big dollars—especially in the world of real estate investing, where managing multiple properties often means moving money across different entities. Recently, we helped a real estate investor uncover a costly bookkeeping error that nearly lost them thousands in tax savings. This simple slip-up involved a mortgage deduction that had been recorded incorrectly and could have easily gone unnoticed without a detailed review.

As we combed through the accounts, following statements back and forth, we discovered that the investor had missed recording $11,000 in mortgage interest in the correct entity. Without our meticulous approach, this mistake would have resulted in nearly $6,000 in lost tax savings—funds that the investor might never have seen. By digging deep into the details and asking questions most CPAs don’t, we were able to bring those tax savings back into view, ultimately giving this client an unexpected financial lift.
