@Ashley Kehr I use a combination of Apartments.com for rent collection, RentSpree for tenant and background screening, and Stessa for accounting.

Are you going to keep the separate bank account, keep corporate minutes?

No one accountant is an expert in all areas in the tax code, so best to figure out what you want first in the world of real estate and then dive deeper there. 

Sometimes, just offering to handle some basic admin work or help with marketing can get your foot in the door.If you’re not sure where to begin, you could take a quick online course to brush up on the tools or skills you think might be useful.

Luckily this was all accounted for in my budget, but it was still a slow and expensive process. 

If you have not done so already ....Time to invest in kick *** accountant and lawyer.   

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

I'd build up and go for at least 2 units but 3 stories is better. 3 story walk up apartments account for almost 65% of apartment developments round he country. this is what I'd recommend on your lot. this is 35' tall and we do it in columbus oh 

Every PM operates differently, and at the end of the day, there is tons of information you can navigate on your own in the beginning stages online, but surely there will be PM's that would be more than happy to assist you on journey.
