Questions to ask when interviewing an accountant

[Carl Mccrory]

howdy BP, I am searching for a good accountant that specializes in working with real estate investors. What are some questions to ask in my interview? What are some ways that a good accountant can help me with investing strategies that may not be obvious? Areas that I am familiar with are the normal tax write off stuff and depreciation, 1031 exchanges, and self directed IRA. Will a good accountant be able to assist with developing an investment strategy?
