 I just want to know if i should start shopping around for a CPA that aligns with my goals, if i am currently in the game of finding my first investment property. 

Trying to figure out ways to jump into real estate game asap. 

The next steps we took:Found a couple of groups to network with (local and out of State)Found a group to play Kiyosaki's cash flow- learned through the game & created some relationshipsFound a few lenders (Hard Money,Private and Banking) I only used the bank for my first multifamily that I lived in.
