I have just Googled and joined some of the local real estate investment meetups. 

Also looking to join a local Master Mind.

I've been wondering things such as, should this CPA be located in the state where my rentals are or in the state I live in?

I don't know how long you lived there to accumulate the appreciation and equity, but it's probably located in a solid appreciation area. 

But I'm happy to answer any questions about MTR property management as you search for a local company.

Also, if you attend some local RE meetups in the area you may be able to find some local MTR operators.

Reach out if we can help with either location.

I have been able to assist them with local builder contacts, local property management, and also helped with securing wildlife permits if applicable.

Ive lived in Thailand the last four years and have an opportunity to purchase a 30 year lease on a brand new fully furnished eco 1 bedroom at a beautiful tropical location that only gets busier each year.
