If you're not going to utilize a bookkeeper I woudln't recommend trying to set up everything in QBO yourself 

I would strongly urge you to graduate straight to an accounting software package, rather than try to craft your own using spreadsheets.We use QuickBooks Online, but there are plenty of tools out there that are inexpensive and easy to use.Time spent getting organized now will save you thousands of dollars in rework by an accountant or bookkeeper later.

So I could use for both.Also, every CPA I have spoken to uses QB, so review for tax time, sending to a bookkeeper, etc is seemless and generally results in a cost savings equal to, if not more, than the cost of QB.  

First step is to hire an office manager/bookkeeper/administrative assistant/transaction coordinator/assistant project manger/marketing manager //// You need a dynamic individual to wear a lot of hats and help you take it to tu en next level.

Its the kind of software that makes doing bookkeeping dreadful.

You always want people around who will look out for your interests.Accountant—As you acquire properties, doing your own taxes and bookkeeping will become increasingly dif- ficult.

Others that are on the list currently are Mortgage, Property Management, and Bookkeeping services.

@Gino Gonzales, 1% is common but also may come off as you are putting money back in your pocket, I use a Back Office Management fee /share  which includes managing the Monthly bookkeeping, ( we still use a CPA - just track the data )  staying on top of property manager and any High end management need.
