A CPA/ Tax Professional for a New Investor

[Yusef Griffin]

I live in Southern California and am moving to Tallahassee next summer. I am finally closing on my first rental property in North Little Rock this week. I have heard time and time again that it is wise to have a good CPA on your team, even when you are starting out. I plan to grow my portfolio in the future and will need to find a competent CPA who knows about real estate, how it works, and the tax situations involved with it. Does any have any recommendations for a good CPA who is willing to work with someone out of state? I also have a list of questions to vet CPAs, does anyone have any other good questions that I should ask when looking for a good CPA?
