Dominic -I run a design build business; I've been where you are... having books that are weeks to months out of date is horrible and can spell disaster as you make decisions based on bad and untimely data.What we've done, after years of trial and error and tons of money lost on bad solutions, is the following -* Off set accountant who does monthly reconciliations and statements, year-end taxes (We run on basis of completion, which I recommend you switch to immediately)* Off site book keeper who does day to day data entry* Quickbooks on a server on the internet so everyone can log in remotely* Paychex handling weekly payrollDon't pay an accountant to do your data entry, it's usually way too expensive and not necessary... don't pay your data entry person to do your monthly reconciliations and statements (They don't know enough, typically).

Here is the information I currently have about this, which seems comprehensive:https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/2682/jersey-city-njHere is the FAQ for the form:https://www.cityofjerseycity.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_6189660/Image/City%20Hall/Housing%20Economic%20Development/HousingPreservation/FAQ%20-%201-3-20.pdfThanks and excited to be here!

Is anyone investing in REITs that operate in the digital infrastructure space (cell phone towers, fiber optic networks, server farms, etc).

Food servers, exotic dancers, bar tenders = typically none of that "tip" income is on tax returns, same thing, doesn't "count." 

As @Brett Kash mentioned there are areas like that up here.For me, I usually take a peek at the crime data for the area, drive around a bit (maybe have lunch at a restaurant in the area and even ask the servers about it if they live there), then look at rent prices and run the numbers. 

Appreciation has been substantial for a long time for anyone holding 5 years or more except maybe for the 2006-2008 time slot. 

It costs money to have the servers and the bandwidth and the staying power for Zillow to survive and prosper.

But he's mad & has already sent a process server around.

They are keeping all the slots full year round with very little maintenance.
