Accounting and Taxes for my first rental property - Tips?

[Sean Brennan]

Hello All!  I recently purchased my first investment property - its a 3-family and I am living in one unit.  I am doing a major renovation to the rental units before I rent them out.  Anyway, I was wondering, do you know of any good resources regarding bookkeeping and taxes?  I want to keep everything organized and make sure I maximize my tax savings.  I am thinking of buying Quicken Rental Property Manager... Also, please don't say talk to an accountant/cpa lol Thanks!
