@Jack Anderson - I also agree with the other folks - you need a real estate focused CPA that really understands these issues and the subtle nuances involved in all of those different areas.Many CPAs are able to serve you virtually and you'll want to make sure you consider that as the talent you need is probably more important than that person's physical location.Best of luck to you!
