Besides having a personal friend to mentor you, this is the next best place to learn.

Any suggestions on the best, user friendly Property management software (PMS) and Accounting Software?    

I remember working with a friend who inherited his aunt’s home.. he got so caught up in the emotional side of it that he forgot the nuts and bolts..like having a good plan for the renovation budget and timeline.

I always found QB to be clunky, not user friendly and just kind of overkill.

When my wife and I started out we new we wanted to invest but did not know how to, we took action and unfortunately found a family friend realtor (amazing learning experience) then we found bigger pockets. 

As an investor friendly real estate agent in Sacramento California, I have been encouraged by my amazing real estate broker, Noah Laker, to join in the conversations you all are having about real estate investing.I feel very lucky to have joined the team here at Hardin Realty & Property Management in Sacramento and all the excitement real estate has to offer.

However I like to run my numbers conservatively and account for cap ex, vacancy, maintenance reserves 10/5-7/5-7% respectively.

It seems as though your friend is ~700/month behind on rents per unit.
