I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

If your CPA personally answers his phone when you call, it means one (or more) of these things:you're one of his special most valuable clients for whom he makes an exceptionyou also happen to be his golf buddy or his investment partner or his girlfriend he is new and does not have enough clientshe is overwhelmed between projects and calls and is about to be checked into a facilityhe is a unicorn or is otherwise extinctWhat is reasonable to expect is that you should be able to reach your CPA at a prescheduled time and via an agreed upon channel: email, text, phone, video conference, whatever you guys agree on.

I would say 2 points for one day funding is reasonable ($1500-$2000 as "minimum") specially when you're dealing with the direct lender not a broker.
