I'm looking for a CPA and would like to know what to look for

[Robert Leitner]

Outside of the obvious that they must understand rental property and LLC, I'm not sure if there is other criteria I should be validating. My situation is that I'm fairly new to rental properties, they're all in AZ where my LLC is, but I live in CA. The person I've used seemed good, but getting a hold of them has been terrible. Not sure why, can only assume they're busy and I'm a small fish in a big pond.

Beyond other things to look for, would be great to know if there are any good resources out there to find one? 

Thanks for the help!

Thank you @Elizabeth Brown and @Bill Hampton. Yes, I am looking for someone that understands the tax laws in both CA and AZ, and want year round support for when I have questions or want to strategize as well as file taxes. Being local would be nice but not a requirement.
