Real EstateJob Costing & Change Orders2MildAccountant$ implied

Accountant struggles to maintain rigorous personal real estate project accounting and suspects others lack proper systems for job costing, entity tracking, and depreciation schedules.

Existing accounting tools may be designed for client work rather than personal side projects, making it cumbersome to treat each flip/rental as a separate entity with full job costing and depreciation.
