Hi @Will F.If you decide to outsource to a bookkeeper, there will definitely be a learning curve at first. 

Regarding some of your metrics, ultimately, you have to decide what is right for you.

I want to interview a few before deciding.

I am struggling in deciding whether to purchase my first investment home in my name or use an LLC.

The unit above mine is currently for sale for $25K more than I bought my place for.Any thoughts/suggestions on the best way to go about doing this deal if I decide to go ahead with it?

After learning from the books and the podcasts, I decided to start to analyze deals and maybe buy my first rental property using the BRRR strategy. 

Hi so for as long as I can remember I've always wanted to invest in real estate but never thought it to be a reality for someone like me until a friend of mine recently introduced me to the bigger pockets podcasts and after listening to a few episodes I started to realize that even for a guy like me that comes from a background of no money can make it if only I put my head to it so I've decided to start by getting my real estate license since that's something that's constantly brought up in the episodes but have no idea as how to obtain one. any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated tia  

During the loan process they look at the financial records to decide if it is worthy of finance and you should and can by yourself do this, if the records are available.

At the time, I only had one rental and didn't like losing my first months rent so decided to do it myself going forward.   

I'll let you know if I decide to go forward after adjusting my numbers and seeing the place today.
