Certified Public Accountant for beginners
I am a beginner real estate investor in Minneapolis, MN. I'm working on purchasing my first rental property, and I'm curious when is a good time to start talking to/working with a CPA. Any suggestions on how to find a CPA who specializes in real estate investing, or tips on this topic?

@Rachael Beissel It really depends on what you are currently doing (i.e. currently using an accountant vs Turbo Tax) and your future RE goals. I've got a few local recommendations I'd be happy to send you!
