I'm also exploring options for attaching documents directly in Quickbooks Desktop Pro, but it is a pretty manual process and then I have the receipt in 3 places (receipt folder on Google drive, attached to Quickbooks transaction, and in the property folder). 

I had two valuations on my last HELOC: one was internal, which gave us additional value for the improvements we made, while the other one they called a “desktop” valuation.

I can't find what I want at the brick and mortar bookstores because I am reading advanced topics.Amazon had print format and kindle digital but not .pdf I am used to ordering a digital book online and saving and reading in .pdf.Does the Kindle digital reader app for Desk Top hog resources and constantly run in the background??

The next stage of my automation will be remote access to my desktop holding my application and all scanned documents .

Given that I don't have these big buildings I don't have separate bank accounts for all the entities, I just have the one.I've seen a lot of recommendations about using quickbooks desktop for landlord activities, but knowing myself I know do better with online platforms.Can anyone offer any insight into which quickbooks online program would be best?

This post forced me to pull out my phone and see what my top 10 FREE apps are...AppFolio (of course as a property manager, need to keep tabs on the day-to-day in a mobile world)Google (Counting Google as 1 app for Google maps, Google drive, Google sheets, Google gmail, Google calendar)Dropbox (records, documents, reports, backups for Google Drive and AppFolio accounts)Messages (of course, text me)Camera (of course, stills and videos)Podcasts (BP junkie, of course)KakaoTalk (wife, sons, Korean family members in different states - free international calls, private messages)Notes (keep track of job site details, pictures, InstaGram (probably should have made that #11) photo posts from desktops, ALL Apple apps synch through iCloud to computer network to all desktops both at home and in business office location.

At LendingHome, we charge a $199 application fee ($299 is the loan is brokered due to the sell-through quality of loans) that covers the Desktop hybrid appraisal as well as other fees that are incurred when the loan is submitted: AVM, Property Profile, flood cert, etc.

Does it matter if I use the online software or the desktop software?

I am thinking I will go with QuickBooks but was wondering if just getting the desktop version will be okay for my first year of owning a rental property?

This may be one or a combo of the following - outside review / measurement appraisal desktop review - finding comps in the area and moving forward with some assumptions regarding the quality of the interior of this property while also referencing time stamped photos taken of the remodel of the interior.
