Accounting software for starting out

[Aaron Vargas]

What suggestions do you have for good accounting software starting out for keeping the books on investment properties? I would only have one small investment property (6-10 units) for now. I love a good spreadsheet and can nerd out on excel but I want something that can streamline the process a bit so I’m not spending all my time setting up the spreadsheet. I like the specs of Buildium, especially since it provides an easy way for tenants to pay rent with minimal fees but that type of software seems like it might be overkill for just one property.

Any advice is much appreciated!
