Looking for a plumber Refferal in Salt Lake City Utah area  The person we had lined up did not show up on our start day.  

The 2018 Tax law discourages itemization by providing a bigger exemption and capping mortgage interest and SALT deductions.

@Gerald BarronTake my advice with a grain of salt (small grain of salt) but I think it really does depend on what you desire out of the property.

@Devyn Grillo I am not from Seattle, so obviously my advice should be taken with a grain of salt.

Please take this advice with a grain of salt! 

This is outside my scope, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but if this person will be brining you new properties, I would give them a percentage of net profit on that property, to incentive them to keep costs low and revenue high.

I'm looking for someone from Utah, specifically Utah or Salt Lake Valley, to help me answer some questions.

So you have to watch out for the tenant brokers and take what they say with a grain of salt.  

As Nicholas mentioned, most CPAs should have the resources to research state tax laws as necessary, and/or have colleagues who are SALT (state and local tax) specialists.

I'm fairly new here as well so take my opinion with a grain of salt and hopefully some more experienced investors can chime in as well.
