Bookkeeping Services Referral

[Alex Veloz]

Hi, y'all. I'm new to BiggerPockets, but I have two rentals, am working a flip, run a realtor business, and am raising capital for upcoming flips. 

I need a bookkeeper who understands tax laws in California to help with my Landlord business and my real estate business.

Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction for these services? 

What questions should I be asking? 

What is the average cost for these services? 

What's a red flag when interviewing? 

Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to read my post.

Great questions!

I'll be honest - most bookkeeping companies are not worth the money, so vet them carefully. However, if you partner with the right one, they will be instrumental to your real estate growth. Your bookkeeper needs to specialize in Real Estate or thoroughly understand the industry because it is very balance sheet-heavy.

I recommend finding a US-based bookkeeper who specializes in real estate and doesn't have too much on their plate. Ask for references!
