I highly recommend Jennie - she was knowledgeable, efficient, transparent, and accommodating.

Would be happy to connect and knowledge share if you are interested.

I've been attending local meet ups and they're extremely helpful talking to people who have a deep knowledge of local markets, especially San Francisco and San Jose. 

I do not have the time to look at everybody's videos and I can afford to pay someone for their time, experience and knowledge so I can get started and not make the same learning mistakes they did.

If you insist on having someone review it, I believe TurboTax has an ask-accountant feature but I doubt they have extensive real estate knowledge.

Thank you all for all the information and knowledge you folks share in this platform, found out about bigger pockets through a podcast and I was like whaaaattt, these folks know what they are talking about I can learn here so much.

I would love someone who is an active real estate investor and is trained in tax strategy (not a requirement but the more first hand knowledge the better) Anyone got any recommendations for me?

I have no prior real estate knowledge but I am eager to learn and hopefully start investing soon.

Not enough information for anyone to determine what to do as this would be based on your financial situation, income, and personal choices along with not knowing anything about what you would build, what it is worth etc. 

If you don’t have the knowledge to be able to decide on parameters, then you need education before contemplating investing.
