Android tablet and administrative apps

[Jason Bowles]

I’m suddenly struck with the motivation to get a tablet to leave in my truck at all times. This tablet would be used for various mobile administrative needs such as keeping receipts, tracking mileage, storing property information, mobile banking, etc. I currently own 6 SFHs with plans to acquire, rehab, and rent 2 more each year for several years. For now, I do everything from scouting and buying properties and all leasing matters to rehabbing properties and mowing the lawns. 

I’m also considering a move to quickbooks online for accounting and exporting for annual tax preparation. So, all apps should be compatible with online quickbooks. 

This may be a “duh” moment for me, so go easy on me. Maybe quickbooks has options available for all of this. 

What’s your experience and/or advice with Android tablets, quickbooks, and the various apps to make all this happen?

If I do quickbooks, can you direct me to resources for setting up specifically for RE investment and operations? Or, am I better to pay my accountant to help with set up and to provide useful instruction?

Thanks,

Jason
