If you’re a real estate investor exploring bookkeeping options and wondering why our services start at $500/month, you’re not alone. We often hear from investors who say they were hoping to spend just a few hundred dollars—but it’s important to understand what that really gets you. If you’re thinking about hiring an in-house assistant or part-time bookkeeper instead, consider the full cost: salary, training, management, and (often) a steep learning curve. Someone entry-level with limited QuickBooks or real estate experience will likely cost you at least $40,000/year—that’s over $3,300/month—before benefits or taxes.
And while that in-house hire may seem like a flexible solution, they often need hand-holding to get up to speed, especially when it comes to industry-specific reporting, property-level tracking, and navigating investor-specific issues. You’ll either spend time teaching them or dealing with errors down the road—and for most investors, time is already in short supply.
That’s why our model makes more sense for most REIs. For a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house, you get a team with real experience—bookkeepers and controllers who specialize in real estate and have worked with hundreds of investors like you. You don’t need to train us, and you don’t need to manage us. We already know the tools, the strategy, and the reporting requirements. Our pricing reflects not just the service itself, but the peace of mind that comes from knowing your books are in expert hands.
