Hey BP,
I am a beginner buy and hold real estate investor in Houston. I have one property with the plan to acquire many over the next year. I am looking to partner up with a professional CPA that would be close to my age. I want a relationship that I can grow and build over the next 30 years as I build my real estate investment company. Do you know CPA's in their 20's or 30's that would be interested in something like this?

Not sure why you say you want to partner with a CPA. CPAs are service providers you hire and pay them as you use their services. Like an attorney.
For a CPA, your primary consideration should be someone who intimately understands the type of transactions you're doing. Ideally someone who's defended their decisions in front of the IRS and won.

Sorry if I was not clear on my initial statement. I am just seeking a CPA in Houston that is just starting out and is looking to develop long term relationships. Not necessarily someone to partner with me on investment deals. Most of the CPAs that are real estate focused in Houston seem to already be well established and have 100s of clients. I want someone that I can start and grow with throughout the next 30 years.

@Ethan G. I went with someone I met a eepb. They are a firm in Houston. I just started working with them. So I don't have a lot of feedback. But our first meeting went really well. you should also check out @Albert Okagbue! Hope this helps!

@Jonathan Bonck Have you been happy with and would recommend the CPA you met and have been working with the last 11 months? If so, would you mind sending me their name and contact info? Thank you in advance!
Who did you end up going with? I'm in the market for a CPA now.
Hi Ethan. Do you have a recommendation for a CPA? Also, I think we had a conversation about your purchase agreement. I'm interested in something other than the TREC contract.
