SEEKING: California CPA for out-of state deals

[JR M.]

Resident of CA seeking experienced CPA for real estate deals out-of-state. I would like to establish an entity strategy for the properties that I will purchase with an investment partner. I touched on some of the entity questions in this other thread, but below are some example questions for this person:

• What is the best way for me to establish an out-of state LLC to hold a multi unit property
• What is the best way for me to structure an investment partnership for the property above for myself and a friend. In essence, we would have two people (or entities) actively managing the investment(s) and am open to including family or others as LP's if beneficial. 

Thank you in advance for the help!

JR
