Buying my first rental property

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to finally introduce myself to the bigger pockets community. I am a mechanical engineer working in San Diego and looking to buy my first long term buy and hold rental property to get some cash flow! Looking for a simple property to force myself in the game and learn the initial process before getting into possibly more complicated deals. I have been doing research for months and decided to make a goal to buy a property by the end of the year. So I have my work cut out for me! 

Things I would love help with and/or if anyone has someone they would recommend:

1) Looking for an accountant

2) Buying the house under an LLC or my name for tax purposes.

Thanks for taking the time to read this! I would love to connect with all of you! 

-Sean
