I wanted to reach out and put my name in the forums so that I can start to network and build a strong foundation for myself.

I am looking for a CPA in the San Jose, CA Bay Area that specializes in investment property.

My wife and I started a year ago and have been very fortunate to have a good start, with amazing people around us, and we'll also be working with my father, who is a full time investor of over 30 years.In preparation, I'm scheduling multiple visits to COS to network, learn the market, and form a team to start working on acquisitions before we are fully moved.

My plan is to build my network over there which includes a  Investor Realtor, Mortgage agent, property manager and contractor.
