Finding a CPA and Asset Protection Attorney

[Michael Myers]

Hi Everyone! My business partner and I are looking to start doing long-distance investing through BRRRR. I live in CA (yay $800 LLC tax!) and he lives in Houston, TX, but don't necessarily plan to invest in either of our states. We are beginning to look around for a CPA and an asset protection attorney.
Any recommendations on great questions to ask each? And anything we should be on the look out for in terms of credentials? And finally, any suggestions for which state they should be located in, or does it not matter? Any comments, suggestions, or referrals welcome!
