Charles Perkins posted above that he started in single family homes and is now moving into apartments.

Giving money to a political campaign is not a charity, and become an issue of buying influence at some point.And, IMO, giving on your number two and three is not giving back, nor is it a donation as it's clearly done in anticipation of a reward and actually against the law if a deduction is taken (I'll let Charles Perkins address that if he likes of sees this).That reminds me of a time I was in a car dealership buying a new car and there was a minsiter who was talking about a purchase as well.

Perkins,Thanks for responding, I appreciate it.I read some of your info last night.

Also, now that we have email and the intrenet, it may not be necessary for your CPA to be located in the area, just so long as they are up on the taxation of your state.I suggest you ask Charles Perkins here on BP as to what to look for given your specific circumstances, he is in Washington state and probbaly knows CA issues and CPAs there.
