I have a few questions about book keeping and management.

I was wondering how most of you do your bookkeeping? 

You can have an accountant do your bookkeeping.

Not having any formal accounting or bookkeeping education and not having much success trying to learn from YouTube videos,  I decided to go with an accounting firm that does Quickbooks training. 

But I am also witnessing as well as organizing a newer more scalable model providing for a more cloud-based, remote, less-than-full service--model that is appealing for a large amount of investors and property owners who are interested in receiving many of the traditional services (rent collection, bookkeeping, leasing, noticing, maintenance coordination, answering phones, etc.) but who would be willing to pay about 1/2 the monthly fee in exchange for participating by physically being present to allow access, showings, servicing notices, etc.

You will find many of us provide bookkeeping etc as well. 

Dan,A typical property management fee could range anywhere from 4-10% of gross rents (larger properties get the better rates due to the economy of scale) in addition to a per door bookkeeping fee, let's say $5/door.

Get bookkeeper or cpa or payroll company to help -missing reporting forms is a pain in the rear with the state. 

I pay someone to do my bookkeeping and taxes and I pay someone to clean my properties.

Sounds to me like not a lot of strict book keeping is going on in their office... so do I let a deal die because they are poor at office management?
