It sounds like you guys have a lot bookkeeping and accounting work.

Can anyone recommend a solution they use for bookkeeping?

I would be bringing lets say 100K to the table, handling the business side of things such as taxes, entity, bookkeeping etc at the moment since I live out of state. 2.

I use Quicken for book keeping so really, the only benefit I get is the application process.

I am particularly interested in sharing know-how's on residential real estate, rental laws, book keeping practice, and property management best practices.

So, I propose you handle the Property Management and bookkeeping; which will include you handling the paying out of bills and dispersing funds.

You need to see a Profit & Loss statement from his bookkeeper's accounting software or you'll have to build it yourself.

I am a numbers person and experienced bookkeeper and I found it a total drag.

All the details of rent collection, leasing, maintenance, repairs and bookkeeping are handled by national class, professional property managers.

 - RE-experienced/friendly accountants do entity bookkeeping and financial advice consistent with  generally accepted accounting principles - and the RE market and financial conditions where your properties and opportunities reside.- RE-experienced/friendly, IRS-enrolled agent, tax professionals do entity  tax preparation and advice consistent with federal tax code and state tax law.Although many of these may have have operated in the others' primary bailiwick, it is far better to have one of each to color within their lines of their specific training and expertise - and all play well together for you.Strong foundation laid - build that business with the rest of the on-scene power teams (realtors, property management teams, et al.) in each investing location.May sound complicated, but when chefs divide the work in the finest restaurants, you get great food.
