Your budget has alot to do with the degree of accounting expertise you need and what you intend to do.Accounting can be pretty simple or very complex, so you need to provide more info.....please don't make us pull teeth here, put everything out there to get the best advice, :)

I bought a Condo complex and I am remodeling the bathrooms.

In the last year there have been 4 very massive student apartment complexes go up very close to tech.   

From what I've read, you should stay away from complex math.

The second one is a 4 bed 2 bath and I plan on renting it to college kids a room.Using the concept of apartment complexes and the way they are done, I will be renting out the rooms to either college kids or young professionals around the area.

In fact I recently saw that a developer had built a very nice, large A class apartment complex in town. 

Now I talk with my fiance about this and she immediately brings up all of the issues we’ve experienced in past places we ourselves have rented (Hot water was out for 2 weeks for the entire complex due to some landscaping guys busting a line in one apartment we lived in) and how she wouldn’t want to be the one directly having to deal with those issues.

@Michael Peters I bought a 200+ unit deal on a DM campaign so it does work and the process can be time consuming, see this link:Bought 200+ Unit Apartment Complex, Increased Value Over $4 MillFor DM you need to send letters consistently, about every 10 to 14 days.

I don't blame them though - I can't imagine how many people come to brokers on a daily basis and say they are going raise money for a large complex. 

Since it's your first investment, it may be wise to look at a single family home or a small multifamily properties unless you can find a good mentor/partner to help you get through the complexities of dealing with larger properties.
