@Justin GottusoThe unique tax thing about Ohio compared to other states in the county is the abundance of locality/municipality returns within Ohio.You may be required to file a separate locality return if you are doing business within that locality.I.E. if you have a rental in Cleveland and Cincinnati, you may be required to file a Federal Return, Ohio State Return and two separate locality returns.Below are some tips to find a Local CPA that specializes in real estate1) Attend a Local REIA / Real Estate meetup and see who other investors are using as a CPA2) Network with other investors from your City/State that you find on bigger pockets and see who they use as a CPA3) Look for CPA's with good google/yelp reviews where 'real estate' is mentioned in the review.

Check the lender's Google reviews, ask for references, and check the Better Business Bureau if they claim BBB accreditation to see what their rating is.
