If they are qualified, they will know what a p&l , balance sheet, statement of cash flows, etc is 

But there are so many different types of finanacial reports, it would be helpful to know what you will use the report for? 

real estate related / a financial statement I can provide to a bank when they require one in order to provide me with a loan

its an example of a financial statement that I was going to show to the book keeper so they have an example of what type of service I would like from them.

Not sure anyone will do your bookkeeping for 5-10$ total and have it worth much.  Usually good bookkeepers charge an hourly rate. And that rate may be different based on location  but you wont get much for five bux

You will need to send them the information from your bank and credit card accounts with some input for them how you want stuff coded. 

You can easily do it yourself in excel or similar. Or hire a local person to do it for you. Once the numbers are in a system it is easy to create financial statements 

 I found a lot of people who will do it for $5-20. so going with the professional $5 from Pakistan. its $5 for 6hrs of work. so the 6 hours should cover the whole month. he's only going to receive my bank alert emails that I will forward to his emails and then he'll log it into the financial statement. each transaction should take like 2-3 minutes to put it in. 

so Mary what did you think of the financial statement in the link I provided? from Robert Kiyosaki 

what do you guys think of rich dads financial statement ? this one --> https://www.richdad.com/MediaL...

I was thinking of hiring a bookkeeper for $5-10 month to do all this for me and I can just send them my emails of my paycheck deposits and my email alerts for each transaction and save time by having someone else do it for me.

I understand that you do your own financial statement etc but at this point I rather just pay someone $5 to do it for me. its only 5 lol. but I want to give them an example to follow.

I want to receive monthly statements. what you guys think of everything listed in that one?

I have 0 assets at the moment but looking to change that soon by getting two rental properties. I have a bi-weekly check, expenses and liabilities (credit cards) that I am working on paying off.

do I have to tell the bookkeeper all my credit cards and the balance I owe on them? probably more likely correct?

what other info should I give to the book keeper

I am 33yr and just learned about a "financial statement" from reading rich dads/Robert Kiyosaki books. where he says how he goes to a bank and ask for a 10-20million dollar loan and provides the financial statement, then he gets 20 million loan/debt to invest in real estate and then pays back the bank and himself. I want to achieve that type of level. I am at the bottom now. but want to work hard to do the something Robert Kiyosaki did

@Mark S.

This is very helpful. What does "PITI" in front of mortgage mean?

@Aaron K.

But subscriptions are recurring every month so doesn’t that count as something to pay in the future

@Aaron K.

Ok great thank you. Expenses are now and one time only fee

Can liabilities also be my monthly recurring fees/subscriptions ?

I have been reading rich dad poor dad and he seems to separate expenses and liabilities into two different columns. I guess they are two different things ? For some reason I see them as the same thing since they both take money out from your pocket

But the way he has it set up is as follows

1. Income/cash flow

2. Expenses

3. Assets

4. Liabilities

So my goal is to acquire assets that generate cash flow so I can be financially free.

But anyhow what is the difference between 2 & 4 ?

I attached the letter that all the apartments received today. It says that they need to come inside all our apartments this week only to look around. I want to know what are they going to look for? they never done this before in the past 15 years I lived here.

should I hide any cash, credit cards or jewelry that is laying around the house and electronics as well that can possibly become stolen?

I am sure they are going to check everyones apartment to see if anyone is growing drugs, weapons, and what ever other illegal activities there could be going. I think this is a cover up scheme and possibly home invasion to ezzz drop on people.

what do you guys think
