Are you open to working with an accountant remotely?

I would prioritize finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation over one that is local.
There are 20+ accountants on this message board who specialize in real estate taxation. Feel free to reach out to a couple and use the one you connect with the most.

    I am also on the hunt. I have called two different CPA’s in the past week with no call back. Who are people using?

    Hay Legal Group (Colin Newberry) or Midtown Title / Ishmael Legal Group (Doug Plummer). These are both law firms that also have associations with title companies to be able to issue title policies.

    Nothing against fee attorneys, but you want a lawyer to represent *you*.  Unless there is a specific attorney-client agreement, the fee attorney does not represent you, your partners, your entity, the buyer, or the seller.  They are great for complex files and can close files where a non-lawyer escrow agent probably cannot.

    @Anna Swanson Also reach out to my pal @Ronald Rohde who is active here too. Not sure how a cpa will aid in the subdivision process, though.

     Thanks Aaron, definitely open to chatting to see their goals. Remote CPA is probably most likely.
