Looking for a real-estate savvy CPA in Chattanooga

[Heather Moreland]

Hi everybody,

My husband and I purchased our first property this summer--a triplex--and we live in one of the units. I've been gathering tax documents and I'm a recent accounting grad, so my plan is to assemble as many things as possible and find someone to look over my work before I submit it to the IRS. I want to learn as much as possible about the process along the way so I can be more self-sufficient in the future. Would you be willing to look over my work and teach me? Obviously I expect to pay for the help and counsel, though hopefully less than if I simply dropped off a box of unorganized paperwork...

As a related and maybe simpler note, how do you all figure out depreciable base and total depreciation for the year if I live in 1/3 of the property and can only depreciate 2/3? Our intention is to live in this place for a few years and then rent out all three units. 

Thanks for your time!

Heather
