If you haven't been tracking your material participation, done a cost segregation, or any other techniques specific to real estate and just want someone to file on your behalf then there might not be a huge difference between H&R and a specialized CPA.

Specifically considering zip 92544.Much appreciated!

The best you could do is call the agents broker and file a complaint with that specific agent. 

I couldn't find a specific answer for my scenario anywhere. 

Consult with a mortgage broker to assess your specific financial situation and find the most suitable loan option.Since you have $50,000 in equity in your current residence, refinancing could be a way to access this equity and use it as a down payment for the new duplex.

To your specific questions:1. 

I think you need to be specific about what you use in your screening criteria.

Is there anything specific you need help with?

@Tanner Bundy is there a specific reason you want a CPA in your area? 

The reason I like the desktop version of Propstream better is because I can see the whole map and put in the specific things I am looking for.
