I called them out first that 30% is a joke and you cannot give that to investors and secondly cash on cash is not even a metric to be used for notes.Atleast he got to use some of that $10,000 education they probably paid for to post on social media.

Regarding bookkeeping/accounting, 100% of the feedback I've gotten from REIs who have tried to have a VA help with their bookkeeping is they had no clue what they were doing and they caused more issues than before they were involved.There are great groups out there such as the "Bookkeepers for Real Estate Investors" Facebook group where VAs can get the education they need to be productive within REI bookkeeping.
