Living overseas, looking for a tax preparer for my US taxes

The tax preparer I have been using since moving overseas has made some mistakes which caused complications I'm hoping to avoid in the future. I would love to find a tax professional who is familiar with US taxes for expats, as well as real estate. If there is anyone on this forum who fits that description, or if you can recommend someone, please let me know!

To summarize my situation: 

I am self employed, with small income from real estate, agriculture, and creative projects. My last US place of residence was in CA, so I use a mailing address there for tax purposes. I believe this means I am required to file state taxes there. 

I own a condo in Wisconsin, currently rented, so I believe I also have to file state taxes there as well. I plan to sell the condo to the tenants in 2020 and want to be sure I have fully researched the tax consequences first (I have not sold a property before).

I own and operate a short term rental and agricultural property in partnership with my husband in Austria, where we live. My husband is an Austrian national, and is not currently a US taxpayer, so I file taxes as married filing separate. When my husband retires in a few years we want spend more time in the US, so I want to research any tax consequences for him. I just recently learned that if I spend too many days visiting relatives in the US then I do not qualify as an overseas resident for tax purposes. 

I also own a property in the UK which does not currently produce any income, but I will either sell it or renovate it as a short term rental within the next 2 years.
