What to ask an accountant?

[Dani B.]

Good morning from CA!

In getting started on this whole real estate investing venture, I have heard that it is a good idea to consult an accountant (preferably a CPA). I plan to meet with an accountant within the next week or so, but I'd love some input regarding valuable questions I should be asking.

I plan to buy and hold SFH or small multi-family, in CA or out of state. I'll be asking general tax questions, but any additional thoughts on relevant questions would be very welcome.

Thank you!

Dani
