CPA worth it for 3 months of REI

Closed and moved into my first property at the end of September. Started renting out rooms shortly after. Would it be worth hiring a CPA to do my RE taxes for the 3 months? I understand, for the most part, how to fill a Schedule E and Schedule A. I'm sure I can look up the questions I have as well. Seeing as a few months worth of income/expenses isn't much, would it be better to just do it myself for this filing?

Is it worth it to pay for dry cleaning when you can do your own laundry? Is it worth it to go out when you can stick a boxed dinner in the microwave? Is it worth it to hire a web designer when there are YouTube videos that, for the most part, teach it? Should I continue? :)
