You have to remember that book keeping is relatively easy, so it's not just the book keeping your are paying for; you are paying for a business advisor who will help you systematize financial processes, make strategic financial decisions, and take your business to the next level. 

Talk with your RE agent about properties your interested in and try to visualize the cost, process and time invested.

That shaves 4-6 weeks off the process. 

If you are going to talk to me, a scientist... please try hard to come up with data.

You could then sign a retainer with said attorney who handles the rest of the process (title searches, filing fees, etc.).

Starting out may be nerve-racking and difficult, but with the right guidance the process can become seamless and easily repeatable.

Today, higher interest rates then what they were, conditioning people to feel they are high (yes, my words are exactly accurate, check the data, rates are NOT high today, it's a perception) swing wide a GREAT opportunity for buying on seller financing, and that's a form of private financing is it not?

While this is not all inclusive, I went to Verifvest and looked around on their website and the list of groups that are paying to be a part of that verification process.  

Once a year, gather all the data for the past year and then review.

I want to get this process more automated.
