Book Keeping and Taxes
Gathering and educating myself for getting into real estate. I’m 24 years old and located in San Diego. I’m looking at out of state due to lowe cost of homes and lack of ability to find deals in my approved range locally.
When hiring someone for book keeping and financial tracking, do most people use the services that there management companies provide or do they have a single book keeper handle all properties.
I see pros and cons to both so looking to see what others do.
Would live to get any advice. I’ve read Brandon Turners books on No/Low Money and Rental Management and they’ve been helpful.

Hire someone? Sounds expensive. Try quickbooks or Stessa. Stessa is free and my CPA LOVES it when I bring the year end tax package documents to them already done.
