As a small business owner in a previous life, I found the bookkeeping super daunting, despite my love for numbers, budgets, & just data in general! 

Many advisors don’t understand the complexities of real estate investing, fail to provide tax strategies, and, unfortunately, some are more focused on selling products for commissions rather than offering real value.That said, not all financial advisors are the same.

If you are really serious and have the fortitude to succeed as an investor, please do you due diligence, continue to research your niche whether it be Fix and Flips, Wholesaling, Buy and Hold, etc, try to find a REAL MENTOR who is not money driven who will actually help you by giving you the real DATA you need to become a success and meet whatever real estate goals you have set out for yourself..

Secondly, i have a 1-3 years of property data that Stessa doesn't see or take into consideration, most importantly rental income and expense. what is the best way to upload that previous data to the properties?
