    1) Given my portfolio size, how can your firm be helpful?

    2) Are you available for consultations and strategy throughout the year?

    3) Do you work with many investors?

    4) What is the fee structure?

    5) What is the preferred method and frequency of communication?

    1. Just talk to them to get a feel for if they have an understanding for your situation. 

    2. If they have experience with real estate investors

    3. If they can accommodate your future growth.

    4. Pricing and fee structure.

    Ask, "how much is 1 + 1?" and when the CPA asks, "what do you want it to be", you found a good CPA!

    @Zacharee Carmack

    Talk in Real Estate Lingo, is the CPA eligible to keep up and understand what you are saying? That is a good sense that he understands the real estate industry and will understand what questions to ask you to get you the most deductions.

    Take a look at his reviews and website - Do they mention real estate? 

    Best of luck to you in your search.
