Looking for a CPA in my area
I am still a "wanna be" investor, but will be jumping in sooner than later hopefully.
I am looking for a CPA for my team, someone I can ask a lot of rookie questions to, someone with experience in real estate investing, hopefully they have their own investments, and willing to help with my small business.
I started a small pet care business this year, for two reasons. 1) To help raise capital for my real estate investing. 2) To start learning taxes before I start my real estate company.
So someone who can help me learn small business taxes now than real estate taxes in the near future.
I'd love to meet someone in my area of Clatsop County, Oregon. I would be willing to travel to Hillsborough/Portland area.
If I could get a free quick meeting with anyone to say hello and meet first, to find someone who would like to work with me. Than I would happily pay for a basic tax question lesson from you. The ultimate goal is to find a CPA to form a long term relationship with to help my along my Real Estate Investing career, and make them and me lots and lots of money.

You are in the right place to learn all about REI, including basic tax questions. There are many resources here on BiggerPockets that are available for free, including top notch articles written by @Amanda Han and @Brandon Hall, podcasts with Amanda @Linda Weygant, as well as very insightful discussions here on the forum with several expert contributors such as @Michael Plaks and several others. Also Amanda's book "Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real estate Investor" published by BiggerPockets is a great resource.
These resources might be a good place for you to start. I do not know anyone local to you to recommend, but most of these folks will work remotely with clients, you can reach out to them directly to see if they will take new clients.
You may also want to go to some local real estate meetups to meet local investors and perhaps find a CPA near to you that way, however in my opinion when it comes to REI tax expert, the knowledge, experience, and customer service are far more important than proximity.
