Quickbooks Online vs. Desktop

[Brian Donoghue]

Relatively new to the BP community here, I appreciate any thoughts that some of you may have on bookkeeping. Since my wife and I picked up our second property we are finding a need to better manage the books. We are currently owner-occupants of a Duplex in Boston and own another duplex that is fully rented in NH. I've come across quickbooks as a good option rather than hire someone as I don't find necessary at the moment.  How do real estate investors justify using online over desktop version of Quickbooks? Thanks!
