I use Quickbooks online for the formal accounting so it's easy for my tax guy to get in there and do his piece every year, since I have an LLC per building.

People will hear podcasts online about how a 25 year old investor bought 65 billion properties in one week and think that they have to do the same thing. 

Do you believe online accounting services like 1800 Accountant are good for the owner of a Real Estate LLC?

ONLINE PRIVATE LISTINGSIf homeowners are looking to sell without a real estate agent, they’re likely on social media.

A friend of mine attended one and found it incredibly helpful..they even walked through actual deals they've closed in the area.Don't overlook online resources either.
