But at the minimum, I'd make her give you a copy of all pertinent documents on the purchase and sale of each property so you be sure all monies are accounted for properly.

I've done a fair bit of reading and have learned to account for r&m, CapEx, management, vacancy, taxes, insurance, and accounting for the first year or two of building reserves.

I'm a 34 year old financial analyst from a very large corporation so i'm incredibility comfortable with numbers, analysis, and 95% of general accounting (I still use a CPA for my own real estate properties, but that's mostly to have an expert who's up to date on all the laws go over my numbers).
