@Darius Falahkhir I use Brigid Katselis at Seifer, Murken, Despina, James & Teichman, ALC on Lombard Street. She is very knowledgeable but not necessarily real estate focused. She helped segregate furnishings from the structure for depreciation on my condo rental without me having to ask for that so she is proactive. I think prices are pretty standard. $370 for my tax returns last year.
I also bought the bigger pockets book: The Book on Tax Strategies for Savvy Real Estate Investors which I found very helpful last year on what questions to ask my CPA.
I wish I had one to recommend. I'd also try searching the old posts for someone and looking at their blog history. It's great you're considering this. My CPA helps me do some forward thinking in the off-tax season to maximize my write-offs and liabilities for the year.
I had an initial consultation with a tax preparer in San Jose has lots of tech clients with rental houses & stock options. She describes herself as moderately aggressive, if there's a line, get 80% towards it, without taking undue risk of audits or penalties. If that sounds appealing, PM me.
