Which version of Quickbooks?

[Jonathan G.]

Hi all!  I have a quick question to throw out.  We are just closing on our first rental property this coming Friday!  I have been through the Forums, and it seems like Quickbooks is what is recommended for keeping up with the accounting side of your business.  I use the Online version for work so I am familiar with it.  What I am not sure of is whether we should do the SimpleStart version for $12.99/mo or the Essentials version for $26.99/mo.  I am thinking it would be Essentials because then you can pay bills online, but if your bank has that feature and you can just have all your bank entries downloaded, I am not sure if that is necessary.  Anyway, what do y'all use? :) 

Thank you!
