Exploring other options like Appfolio or Apartments.com which might offer the balance of support and functionality you need, is a sensible approach.

Stress is a function of a decision not being kept whole or answered.

My suggestion is to build a spreadsheet and include the net cash flow to you for every month of the deal, then use the IRR function to figure out your return. 

Ugh.Looking for options to QBO:- supports classes, or some functional equivalent to QBO classes, which I use to sort be able to look at per-property P&L, capEx, etc.- CPA just wants a pdf or excel SS for P&L, BalanceSheet, GL - so could use whatever I want, in theory.- bank integration (download transactions) a must- no employees, so don't need payroll- if it'll bill that's awesome.

If we bite off people’s heads when they admit disaster, it suppresses legitimate issues with these techniques.Just for context there is a lot of history with the OP and some of us on here going back years (like the thread I linked to above from about a year ago and several others if you use the search function with his name) with him minimizing the risks of how he was structuring these transactions and some of us being cautionary, warning him that exactly what happened here could happen, which made him defensive and dismissive. 

During your initial walkthrough, inspect the property for any major issues such as structural damage, roofing problems, plumbing, and electrical concerns, while documenting all cosmetic and functional issues with detailed photos and notes.Once you confirm the property’s potential, finalize your ARV and calculate the repair costs using either a reliable estimator or insights from contractors.

Keep in mind that I am selling them as affordable fixer uppers and usually only address any health, safety, and functionality issues.
