Post: Help! In Need of a Rockstar Bookkeeper!

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a referral :)
I’m in need of an amazing, world-class Bookkeeper for my Rental Business. I’ll have about 100 units by the end of the year, and am currently using Buildium to manage (though I’m not tied to it.) I need someone who is wicked-smart and can help me on a month to month basis with little oversight.
Anyone have a rockstar experienced Bookkeeper they work with that can handle another 100 units of bookkeeping?
If so- please let me know below, or email me at brandon (at) biggerpockets (dot) com
Thanks all!

Hey @Joel Owens and everyone else!
Great info here! So - yeah, the DST thing ain't gonna work. It was hard to get anyone to tell me how much it would actually cost, and for other complicated reasons -- it's just a bad idea :)
BUT I did get a property! Two, actually. I probably analyzed 1,000 deals in my 45-day window (and the month leading up to the sale of my last property.) Found two that excited me - and got them both under contract last week, during the last 2 days of my 45-day identification window. A 24-unit in Cincinnati, and a 49-unit mobile home park near Bangor, Maine. So I'll be sharing more as I get through my due diligence.
Thanks for the help, all!

Hey guys- I'm buying a 24-unit apartment building near Cincinnati and I'm wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for a great commercial lender or small local bank?
Thanks!

Anyone have any experience with a establishing a DST (" Delaware Statutory Trust ") or know anyone who does?
A friend of mine has a great syndication deal on an apartment in Arizona, and I want to put my 1031 money into it. BUT the only way to put 1031 money into a DST is through a TIC (which we don't wanna do) or form a DST. BUT the deal is fairly small (2.7M purchase price, 1.2M raise). So I need to find out if I can establish a DST for this deal and can dump my 1031 proceeds into it. (I've got 9 days left to identify my replacement property... and starting to get nervous!) Help!

Yah- Aberdeen can be tough but it’s kind of a “ neighborhood by neighborhood” thing. Agreed on the traffic driving though- it’s great. I have one Vacation Rental in the area and it’s booked most night.
Overall- I think the future is looking positive for Aberdeen. it may never be “seattle“ but it’s on an upswing!
