Hey Michael,

I'm also in the same mind frame as you. Trying to find a CPA.

What I ended up doing was just a google search for : Real Estate CPA in (insert city)

I set up a couple of meetings with some of the individuals from Milwaukee and I plan on asking them all the questions I can.

I'm not saying that the other suggestions are bad, me personally I would feel safer if they were in my home town and new the correct information.

Hope this helps.

Here are the two "team members" you'll want to have lined up at the beginning:

1. Real Estate (Buyer's) Agent: This is the person who can provide you the data to analyze your market (to determine if you actually want to invest there), can provide you local expertise and who can provide you access to any properties listed on the MLS.

2. Investor-Friendly GC: This is the person who can do a basic pre-offer inspection and can help you ballpark the renovation costs, assuming you'll be buying a "fixer upper."

If you have those two people in place, you should be ready to start making offers. Once you have an accepted offer, then you'll want to a few more people involved -- property inspector, closing/title agent, insurance agent, and perhaps an appraiser.
