Just to stay on topic with the OP, my check might be net profit or just net sales - depends on whose doing the bookkeeping I guess.

I also have them do my social media, executive assistant and small bookkeeping tasks. 

Everything is approved BEFORE it happensBetter for bookkeeping and it stops a tenant from pulling "I fixed the faucet in the bathroom and a screen door so I took $100 off the rent this month...ok?"

They can also aid with bookkeeping and getting batch discounts from vendors.The only other item I think it might be worth considering is if you can dip into small apartment buildings (5 or 6 plexes) from the get go.

I have no affiliation, but there is a wealth of REI resources on there, including a free bookkeeping spreadsheet you can download.

I know you mentioned some things but what will help me perfect “ book-keeping “ I don’t even know how much exact dollars came in from my investments, due to lack of software and such!

You can also create a Statement of Cash Flows, but like the Balance Sheet, I don't see much use for one in a small operation, but definitely something to generate if you start looking for investors.I do all my bookkeeping on an Excel spreadsheet.

If you have the ability to borrow that amount of capital from a single investor, of course it would be easier in regards to book keeping, communication and overall structure.

Just like there are bookkeepers and there are CPAs.

Adams uses PipeDrive, which can be used to record and track business progress and also professionals such as attorneys, realtors, loss mitigation, servicers and bookkeepers.
