Hi, all. Would anyone be able to recommend a tax professional with experience working with first time home-buyer/investor in Castle Rock, CO?

For background, in 2022 I purchased my first home and moved from Texas to Castle Rock. Since moving into the house, I've converted garden level into an ADU and made other big-ticket upgrades to the house which would be used by tenants. Compared to my previous years filing taxes, I suppose filing this year will be quite complex. I'd like to make sure I don't miss out on any deductions since the entire process was quite expensive.

Hi. First time posting.

I'd like to buy my first home in the Denver area. I'm not really sure how to proceed with the home buying process, so I'm hoping to get some advice in the form of what you'd do next given my financial situation and the fact that I'm out of state.

Profile:

- I am currently renting in Austin, TX and have never been to Denver despite really wanting to live there.

- I know I want to househack through either a multifamily or a single family home.

- I have the VA loan and have a VA disability rate over 50%.

- I have excellent credit and over $100k in non retirement investment accounts intended for buying my first home.

- No kids, just a significant other.

- Zero debt.

If you were me, what would be your next step?

What sort of lender should I work with if I'm out of state and want to move to Denver?

Connections would be greatly appreciated.

Most importantly, what questions should I be asking (e.g. unknown unknowns)?
