Hey Dani! I'm a bookkeeper specializing in real estate. Please let me know if I can answer any questions.

I disagree. I have a bachelor's in accounting and worked in commercial real estate accounting for 7 years. I also have my own portfolio I've been managing for 10. Now I'm operating my own bookkeeping business specializing in real estate. It's wonderfully flexible.

I have an accounting degree, and I still outsource my taxes. I was able to handle them myself until I hit about 3 properties. I'm in Northeast Ohio where the cost of living is lower than most of the country, but my CPA charges us $400 a year (I'm down to 2 properties now).

Even if you decide to handle them yourself this year, go to your local REI meetup and find out who investors around you are using. Get connected with them so you have someone in your pocket to reach out to when you're ready.

I'm an accountant and bookkeeper specializing in real estate. For my own portfolio, I use Wave. My clients are on Quickbooks or Stessa. 

Do you have a separate bank account for your rentals?

Hey Kristie! I'm also a real estate bookkeeper. I've been investing and hanging out on BP for almost 10 years now, so please reach out if I can help with anything. Always happy to network with fellow REI enthusiasts.

Hi KP! I'm also a real estate bookkeeper. Would love to connect. I've been investing and hanging out on BP for close to a decade now, so please feel free to reach out with questions.

So much gray area. I have an accounting degree, can read financial statements, and can give light advisory based on financials because I've been in the REI space for a decade now. I don't have my CPA, and I want nothing to do with tax prep. While my company name only contains "Bookkeeping," if you ask me what I do, I say "accountant and bookkeeper."

@Benjamin Larabee Hey Benjamin! I have an accounting degree, 5 years of experience as a property accountant in the commercial space, and 10 years of managing the books for my own rentals. I launched my independent bookkeeping practice last year. I'll PM you. 

This group was established to help real estate investors and other real estate professionals in the Mahoning Valley grow their business through networking. We meet on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at Buffalo Wild Wings in Boardman. While you are welcome to bring your deals and services, there will be no sales pitches by the organizers. Our only aim is to help build connections within the Youngstown real estate community.

We welcome current and aspiring real estate investors, contractors, agents, lenders, and anyone else who could benefit from connecting with like-minded individuals.

There is no structure or agenda--simply come in, grab a drink, and a grab a seat next to some one new. Bring your questions, your deals, your business cards, your contractor recommendations, your needs, your best practices, your experience, your lack of experience--whatever you have (or don't have!). Find a partner, a mentor, or just a new friend. Share, learn, and grow.

I only charge $500. My MTR tenants are less risky than my LTR tenants were.
