Might be early to this party, but I don't want to be scrambling when tax season comes around.I'm willing to do bookkeeping in whatever way they want me to (QB, QBO, Excel sheet, whatever).

Hello fellow investorsI was wondering if I could get some thoughts on tax preparation "only" fees for a good CPA (not inclusive of any bookkeeping services). 

I have money though and I have rentals so I understand bookkeeping and managing tenants etc. but when i bought it was after crash so, it was easy.

I love extra bookkeeping and making less money every month .

If they pay out of their savings or checking they are not charged.I still use quickbooks for my bookkeeping though but it's all been smooth.

It might be a good idea to hire a bookkeeper to keep your books regularly, rather than the person who is actually handling the money.

Something to consider: Financing, contracts, title work, insurance, bookkeeping, taxes and returns can be overwhelming even when personally making a purchase let alone in an LLC when starting out.

Keep in mind, I have little bookkeeping or accounting experience other than what I've learned through my real estate business.  

Some of the more high volume investors will have at least one part time person helping them out like a book keeper, maintenance call service or someone to help with scanning/sorting documents.

Let's say, it costs you 1.5K to get your structures in place (holding LLC or Series-LLC, with or without land trusts, with or without separate operations LLC) and 0.5K per year (for maintaining the LLC properly, bookkeeping, lawyer and CPA, etc.) for a total of 2K.
