First year as a rental property owner-- Tax Questions

[Thomas O'Donnell]

I bought my duplex back in September 2022, but did not get the other side rented out until March 2023. Since this is the first year I will have rental income, what are some things to look for with taxes? Such as tax breaks/write-offs? Also should I get in contact with an investor friendly CPA asap? I have always done taxes myself but since I own a rental property now I know I will need help with taxes. I have been tracking income/expenses through Avail property management software. Would love all and any input about taxes as a real estate investor and what to expect. TIA!
