How to find a Real Estate savvy CPA?

Hi BP community,

I am in my first year of investing. I currently own one duplex which i am still renovating and hope to start renting here in a few months.I purchased this duplex last year and have never filed taxes as a homeowner/investor. I figured it would be a good idea to seek out the help of a CPA that is well versed in real estate and investment tax laws to help me with this. I have always filed taxes myself using turbotax or something like it. I have never used a CPA so i am unsure how to find one that would be knowledgeable in real estate.

What is your best advice for finding a CPA who is savvy in real estate taxation? do you think I need to use a CPA with only 1 property or should I save the cash and do them myself? what questions would you ask to determine if a CPA is real estate savvy?

thank you!
