Any suggestions on the bookkeeping aspect of keeping everything organized?

Awesome to hear that you have found a REI group near you, definitely take advantage and try to soak up as much knowledge as you can from those who have grown a real estate portfolio.

Hi Glen I work with an organization who handles evictions for our firm in that area.

One of the things you can do differently is upgrade to Quickbooks Online Plus, which will let you organize your expenses by "class" AKA by property.

What have you found to be a simple/stress free way of keeping your business organized financially? 

I was born and grown up in Dallas, Texas and still live just outside of Dallas and I'm currently 61 years old but I will attempt to give you an answer. 

Just wait, it will get cheaper, then buy it and lease it to the organization running the halfway house call them first, they are probably a non-profit so you could do a triple net lease.

I work on the BOD of one of my (non-RE) professional organizations and it has given me a whole new way of looking at some serious problems we are facing.

I work in construction and have grown tired of doing everyones work for them. 

I have even managed to hunt down a closing agent, harder than I ever thought, who can and will do a double close.What I don't have is a company or organization that is willing to give the buyer a mortgage without my name on the deed or anything of the sort.
