@Ryan Ellis: If it is in writing, then follow the terms and conditions that were agreed upon. 

I don't currently have any write offs and wanted to have the CPA help me to develop a tax strategy going forward.

My wife and I are just getting started writing our business plan for investing.

If they wrote code for some software company, maybe it's okay.

The lease states that tenant shall vacate premises on termination of the agreement unless;1) landlord and tenant have extended this agreement in writing or signed a new agreement; 2) mandated by local rent control law; or 3) landlord accepts rent from tenant, in which case a month to month tenancy shall be created which either party may terminate as specified in paragraph 2a2a states either party may terminate in writing with 30 says notice (paraphrased)Last May the tenant and I signed an agreement, rent increased 12.5% and the main verbiage is:Specifically, the Parties agree to extend the Lease as per Provision 2A/B “Month to month & Lease” The extension to run month to month beginning October 1, 2018 at a monthly rent of $XXXX and requires a 60 day notice on the part of either tenant or landlord in order to terminate the agreement.

Under your return address write "Address Service Requested". 

So an agent just writes up a list at the end and provides it to the client, is it very detailed?

So i'm writing up a contract to buy a rental property.

If anyone would care to share contacts I could use a property manager and a CPA who's knowledgeable of rental loopholes/tactics.Right after I purchased the property I had to spend approx $20K on some rehabs, I'm hoping I locate a CPE who can write off 100% of this despite my occupation of 40% of the property.Thanks

I'd make sure you have something in writing so when someone moves out you can deduct a portion of the security deposit.
