Need a new accounting system!

[Joseph Hammel]

Hello! I have been using excel for my accounting for 6 years. However with 38 units across 14 properties its becoming an issue. I do use Buildium to do applications, background checks, rent collection, tracking ect. Buildium has expense tracking but I don't really understand how to use it and I don't see how the information can be translated to the items on a sched e. Buildium seems to be more suited to property managers that manage others property. 

Question 1. Are there any Buildium users that fit my profile (property owners)? Do you use it for expense tracking?

Question 2. Can anyone recommend an alternative. Ex Quickbooks. If so what specific version? Include cost if you can.

Question 3. Should I just hire an accountant? 

Thanks!
