Need a CPA... But where do I start!?

[Kate Friedrick]

I am finally accepting the fact that I need to file for an extension and work with a CPA. How do I go about vetting one and getting on someone's schedule at this point in time? Any recommendations in the Raleigh, NC, area? (I feel like it should be someone in close proximity in case they need to see documentation.)

I've got everything pulled together and pretty much entered into the H&R Block software. But I need another set of eyes on this stuff. We are fairly new to real estate investing-- we have a couple of rental properties, and we entered into a 1031 exchange at the end of 2018.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
