Tax Accountant - Local or Investment Market

I am currently looking to hire a tax accountant to help with tax strategies and filing annual taxes. I reside in California, but own rental properties in Alabama. I have W2 employment and run the rental properties on the side. I am wondering if I should be looking for a tax accountant in my home market (California) or in the market I own my real estate investments (Alabama) given they are familiar with local tax laws. Any advice?

As long as the tax professional is familiar with real estate tax law and multi-state taxation, their location doesn't matter too much and it really only comes down to personal preference.
