My current CPA doesn't seem to be very investment savvy and I plan to purchase my first rental property in the next few months and want to find someone reputable.

@Joseph Tuczak call a few garage door companies that are reputable and get three estimates for the garage door.

Sure 1) Select and aquire solid properties built by top shelf home builders2) Acquire these properties in good neighborhoods that attract quality tenants that have an incentive to protect their own reputation so they won't destroy yours or your property or engage in conduct detrimental to all.3) Put into place solid property management that understands that their role isn't just to collect rent and fix toilets, but to protect you from liability in all areas that flow from property management like fully vetted tenant selection processes.4) Adequate solid property casualty and liability insurance for each property.5) As/if necessary umbrella insurance coverage tailored to your personal risk profile and risk mitigation goals. 

If you get a name or two here, then compare those references to their on line reputation, that is a great start to reducing your risk.

If you did not do an appraisal, it won't cost you anything, I would find a reputable lender like @Chris Mason and start again.

Best way to grab accurate data is to walk through potential rehab jobs with reputable contractors

What third party administrators are reputable and have the lowest fees (I'm a Vanguard guy...and of the opinion that small management fees can kill your long term returns). 

Alternately, depending on your state a title company or reputable foreclosure trustee can be named in the mortgage as foreclosure trustee, who would only “Spring” into action in the event of default.Payments under the note can be structured by check or auto-pay, depending on the parties needs.Attaching amortization schedule is a good idea for amortized loans.

@remingtonlyman even a BiggerPockets contributor got scammed by a 1031 intermediary with good reputation and he did a video on it. ( His name starts with Chris) When choosing just has to make sure they carry good insurance in case something goes wrong.

Reputation is everything.
