Looking for a Tax Professional in Southern CA

[Cameron Mertens]

Hello all, 

Thanks to the BP site and community, my gf and I were able to start our real estate ventures this summer by purchasing a triplex in LA with an FHA loan. It was in bad shape so we took a private loan from my parents to renovate 2/3 units, and have been doing work on the property ourselves despite not being licensed (I have done exterior painting, drywall repair, light fixture replacement, small things like that). We are also refinancing already to take advantage of even lower rates. In addition, she owns a single family residence that she has rented out as well. I know that we will both need to find a tax professional that specializes in real estate to help maximize our tax benefits, but I am not sure where to even start to find someone who knows how everything works in southern CA. I have searched a bit on google, and on here, but was hoping someone could help me cut through all the information to point me in the right direction. I haven't been steered wrong yet and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help us out! Happy Holidays!
