I’m an ex realtor who also has some experience working for a private equity group for a short time before I got a really good gig in a completely unrelated industry that will allow me to have options when investing.

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? 

These are two ways you could solidify your equity.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I get a ton of my residents from there. 

The details are as follows:My mother currently resides in a property located in Los Angeles County.

When pulling the credit report one of the individuals has a high debt to equity ratio (50 %) My fear is what if this High DTI and credit usuage could result in one of the parties defaulting on future rent.

I believe your net equity may be the silver lining here.

that's awesome @Tieirra Singleton I love those areas for real estate investing - there is so much potential for cash flow + equity build up.
