I have great recommendations I can send you.

Quote from @Ben Trageser: Highly recommend Maven Cost Seg!

After reading Brandon and Brian's book, The Multifamily Millionaire, Volume II: Create Generational Wealth by Investing in Large Multifamily Real Estate, I'm a bit puzzled as to if the GP's must have real estate experience, or if someone can connect enough professionals/companies on their team to execute successful investments.

Does anyone have any recommendations for property management in Pheonix?

You input and recommendations are greatly appreciated. 

Quote from @Chris Magistrado: Quote from @Brian Burke: @Jay Hinrichs yes Maui did the same thing after the Lahaina fire, and you're also right that Santa Rosa had no such restrictions. 

I don't recommend throwing the baby out with the bath water, and definitely make sure you understand the nature of the Mentor you choose.BP is a great resource to meet some amazing people. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I am looking for recommendations for best financing options.The owner is considering financing it, but until they agree, I am planning as if they will not do so.The local credit union I use, who is very investor friendly, is unable to lend on properties larger than 4 units right now. 

Transcribing transactions from bank statements, posting transactions to the correct accounts, and then manually creating an income statement, statement of owner's equity and a balance sheet is a fairly time consuming process and I have not been able to keep up with the book keeping between my regular work responsibilities.What accounting software do people recommend?
