Great software for accounting.  

@Michael HayesBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate accountant. 

Here are some additional tips:Business Bank Account: Open a dedicated business bank account to manage income and expenses separately from personal funds.D-U-N-S Number: Register your business with Dun & Bradstreet to establish a business credit profile.

Account Closed has multiple STRs there, including one that is a four-plex in the middle of town.

Hey Caleb, I work as an Account Executive at a hard money lender called Backflip.

The demographics and map data don't take the students into account, but they're really what's driving the market.Low property values and ever-increasing student rents are a recipe for a market when you can pick up a duplex in decent condition for $150k, and rent it for $500/bed (that's an EGI of $36,000 annually for a 3/3 duplex).

I'm unclear what you mean by upgrading your accounting for the syndication.We use multifamily property management software.

As someone who has read Harry Potter, it seems the best way to get the attention of the landlord is to send a scary looking giant to their home residence with a kindly worded letter.More seriously, I was on the other side of the coin previously where my wife put the ads up under her accounts instead of mine, so I couldn't check them without getting on her phone and I was inundated with people looking to see the property (probably 50 over a 5 day period) and was trying to send semi-personalized notes to each one--and it all ended up being too much to handle and I ended up ghosting or not replying to many people after I found an applicant. 

My question relates to when and how to structure a business account.
