Like ease of bookkeeping?

It now cash-flows like crazy and the amount of monthly work on my part is a 5 minute phone call to property management and book keeping.

I am still trying to learn the bookkeeping/accounting side of it so that my CPA won't scream at me come tax time!

With a dozen properties I don’t spend 2 hours a month dealing with them, and most of that is bookkeeping.

I am purchasing a vacation rental in big bear CA, and wanted to find a CPA experienced in short term rentals to help me bookkeep, and possibly form a LLC/ Scorp.

I'm in a similar situation as @Curt Smith and I'm also trying to find a good cloud based bookkeeping solution.I ruled out Buildium b/c I use a property management company that handles all of the tenant management, rent collection, etc part of my business.  

For someone small, you might want to do it in phases (i.e. a one-time project CFO to guide you that includes setting up your accounts & then as you grow adding a bookkeeper. 

I am able to do my own book keeping, which allows me to save on costs and stay involved in my cash management.

Totally a shot in the dark here but I'm wondering if you have some sort of an accounting or book-keeping type of background/mind?
