If you are looking to see your financials, then delegate the bookkeeping work by hiring someone.

For example I was using an accountant/book keeper in a previous business who we loved, but unfortunately she had no real estate experience and would have had to learn along with us - which is against the whole point of surrounding yourself with experts. 

Check out Hurdlr for bookkeeping when you have a chance.  

NOW I know its sounds great and it is.. but try to explain that to timber land owners who are generally very unsophisticated .. they then go to their book keeper who has never heard of it and they think its not legal.. we did this maybe 5 or 6 times with financially astute timber land owners.. 

How much are you paying on a monthly basis already for bookkeeping/accounting services?

In my opinion, ease of bookkeeping should not drive this decision.

The only way the would even be remotely possible is if you moved into the park and did all the repairs to the homes, management, bookkeeping, and park maintenance for free. 

If so, you may be at the point where professional bookkeeping would make sense.

Yes, that's still paying for training, but its training on your niche and what you are doing and not paying the extra $37,000 for asset protection (hre a local attorney for under $1000 for that) or 7 other investment strategies that you have no interest in, or for how to use an IRA (the Self Directed Custodians offer that training for free, online, daily), or how to set up a quickbooks account (hire a bookkeeper to help you with this), and on and on.Now back to Fortune Builders I will say if you are going to go to see one of the traveling circus shows that avoids the local REIAs, they are better than most. 

Do you do the bookkeeping or is your CPA doing it?
