It’s $50 year and overkill for less than 20 properties. 

Most investors don’t even need an LLC and a holding company is extra, extra overkill though IMO.

These softwares have a lot of functionality, but honestly there is a steep learning curve and the functionality is probably overkill for most rehabbers.FlipperForce - Web-based House Flipping Software built specifically for flipping & rehabbing houses w/ Estimating, Gantt Scheduling, Task Management & Budget ManagementGeneric Project Management SoftwaresThere are nearly an infinite amount of potential generic Project Management softwares available that provide powerful functionality for managing project schedules, tasks & documents. 

But a fine is just a little bit too overkill.

Seems like an overkill and all you need is an insurance policy as any good attorneys first question will be "how much did the LLC who is to be separate from you pay for the property" - when the answer is zero and it was gifted. the next question will be do you gift properties to others as well?

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

Honestly seems like a little overkill on this decision - unless its strictly a rate-term refinance because rates have dropped, it usually just should come down to a side by side comparison of status quo vs. refinanced (+ how any cash-out capital is deployed)

If you have less than 20-30 rentals Quickbooks little brother Quicken is much cheaper, easier, and still overkill for such a simple task.

It is a bit overkill for sure.  

Depending on how many properties you have that may be overkill.
