I read through your other post and it appears that you used a HELOC on a personal residence to purchase an investment property. It would be interesting to see how your taxes was done in the prior years if the interest was reported as a deduction on Schedule A or Schedule E.
You should follow the interest tracing rules to determine deductibility.
Below are some tips to find a Local CPA that specializes in real estate
1) Attend a Local REIA / Real Estate meetup and see who other investors are using as a CPA 2) Network with other investors from your City/State that you find on bigger pockets and see who they use as a CPA 3) Look for CPA's with good google/yelp reviews where 'real estate' is mentioned in the review. 4) Verify that your CPA is licensed.
