CPA Recommendation for Rental Property Buy and Hold

[Kyle Hilliard]

Hey everyone, 

I am going to buy my first rental property in the next few months and am looking for a CPA to advise me on REI tax issues. I want to be proactive about tax planning, so I'd like to meet with this person throughout the year, not just around mid-April. I met with one CPA but I don't think he will be a good fit for me. The vibe I got from him was that when you have a specific tax issue, you call him, and he fixes it for you. I want to work with someone who will LET ME KNOW of problems/ways I can maximize deductions well in advance. The person I met with also wasn't great at explaining complicated tax jargon into simpler terms. I want someone who is able to explain these concepts to me so I can learn.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a CPA that they've worked with that fits my description above? I live in Michigan, but am completely open to working with someone remotely. 

Thank you all in advance!
