There is a lot of demand for bookkeepers.

One way to learn about some specific aspects of real estate is to get a part-time job at RE related industry, like property management company, book-keeping, financing, virtual assistant, anything you can have time to get into along with your schoolwork, even if you have to do it for free. 

Hi, I'm looking for a bookkeeping app or any software that is easy to use for small real estate investment.I do not use Excel.... or don't know how... 

All partners should always PAY for what they are using and then be compensated separately for any services they provide.This sets legal precedence in case of a court battle.So, if he wants to occupy a unit, he should have an executed lease at market rent and pay it.If he is also going to be the onsite manager, then the company can compensate him separately for that - also at market value.If he's managing the onsite maintenance & tenant issues, you can manage the admin side - rent collection (no pickups, just online), collection efforts, evictions, bookkeeping for rent ledgers, late fees, etc, paying expenses, etc.

We run into a lot of "mom and pop" owners in this size of apartment complexes that haven't done the best bookkeeping on their end.

Beyond that, with regards to book keeping, I would wait until your time deems or budget allows for a book keeper. 

That's the job of bookkeeping software.

I am the bookkeeper for the syndicator and saw how well they were doing on other deals.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
