Building my team to do my first 1031

I have been reading, researching, & looking at properties for a few months now, but I need to get serious and start building my team to help me through my first 1031. My property is in SoCal, but I live in Michigan. I know CA has a law that if I reinvest out of state then upon sale of the acquired property I would have to pay the CG taxes on the relinquished property. I’m willing to look in CA, but I’m not sure I can find the same cash flow that I can in other parts of the country. I am looking at small apartment buildings for my new investment. 

To build my team I am thinking I need the following:

- 1031 intermediary

- residential agent to sell current property

- commercial broker to find new property 

- tax accountant (My current CPA is in MI) 

Am I missing anyone? Does it matter where the QI & accountant are based out of? Should I find an area of the country to invest in or find a broker who can find properties that meet my criteria and then decide if that area fits my investing needs?

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! If all goes well I may consider doing the same with another Ca property I have that has also appreciated very nicely.
