@Dave Vona, Yes, Testing a couple lists is a good idea. I would suggest the FSS list with absentee and owner occupied and Seniors - owner occupied. If you want more absentee, include a 3rd segment as well.

Chrissy, where is the best place to find the FSS lists? Awesome idea! 

I’m in the same boat. I have properties in different states with different managers. I hired a book keeper that specializes in real estate. She has a degree in accounting and has worked in accounting firms and major real estate companies for years. She doesn’t offer tax advice. She doesn’t do taxes either. She doesn’t have anything to do with handling money. So if you’re looking for those things a CPA is best.Her role is mainly that of an assistant. She logs everything in Quick Books and makes a monthly report combining all expenses and income so I can easily see the big picture and then breaks it down so I can see where my strengths and weaknesses are. She keeps records and receipts and will double check all of the maintenance expenses. She always keeps a running total of year to date expenses and sends her closing statement to my CPA every year. She’s caught several errors on the PM side. Mainly double billing for maintenance. Is that the kind of service you’re looking for? Message me if you want the info for the woman that keeps my books in check. My CPA wanted $100 an hour for this service but actually recommended the girl I use now. I pay her $25.
