Stessa vs. QuickBooks vs. Other???

[Alex Geesey]

I've been looking through the forums over the past couple days to try and find an answer, but haven't really come across many posts that are more recent. I am looking into accounting/bookkeeping software to use for my rental property business (LLC), and I was wondering what people preferred? I currently do not have any properties yet, and when I do I will be hiring a property manager. I would like to scale up to at least 40 single-family and small multi-family homes.

I saw a lot of posts ranging from 1-5 years ago that recommend QuickBooks Online Plus, but it seems pretty pricey for only trying to obtain at least 3 properties within the next year, and Stessa is the only other competitor that I can find detailed reviews on. The only thing that I don't like about Stessa was the wording in the terms that said that you authorize them to have power of attorney, and it's not very clear on what specifically they would use it for. 

If you use or know someone that has used any of the programs below, what are your thoughts on me using them for my situation? Any other options that you might recomend?
