Bookkeeping when it comes to real estate investments can get tricky.I often find the following mistakes occur1) They fully write off the mortgage payment when in reality the mortgage payment is broken down into Interest, principal paydown and an increase into the escrow account.2) If the property is managed by a PM company, do not factor in the PM Statement3) do not calculate depreciation expenseBest of luck in your search for a proper bookkeper.
