CPA needed when starting out?

[Michael Pannacciulli]

Hi - when do most folks hire a CPA?  Before the first purchase, after...after several investments?

Also if you are an out of state investor, do you pick a CPA in your home.state?  Does it matter much?  I don't expect or need to meet the CPA physically, that would be nice but not required for me.

Thanks!
