Finally, take advantage of free landlord software out there to help with filling vacancies.

Hi Chris, For screening tenants there is free software out there that will do it all for you.

You could use the tax prep software you started with to calculate your tax liability based on the numbers you put in (this may not be the same number the CPA comes up with though, as it's likely something is overlooked).But this way you are sure it is right in the end, and you are able to use a CPA.Hope this helps!

@Vincent CraneYou don't necessarily need to upload a copy of each receipt to your accounting software.

Hey BP can anyone give me some feedback on Realeflow, I need to kick up my marketing stratigies and Realeflow was suggested to me. I though let me consult my BP members for their thought before I go any further. 

My CPA has instructed me that the auto expenses (at least the proportion used for rental activities), overhead such as office supplies, software, tax preparation, and other items which occur to operate the rental properties (AS A WHOLE) are expensable on Schedule E relative to the activity (e.g. based on number of units per property) by "cost accounting or cost allocation".

In my specific apartment complex, we used software that would change the rate  daily depending on availability & market rent.

Does anyone have any advice on what software or application to manage rental portfolios and/or collect rent?

PLUS WHAT IS THE BEST SOFTWARE TO HELP ME ANALYZE PROPERTY OR WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO ANALYZE ANY PROPERTY.

Hey BP,Looking for a solid investment software I can plug assumptions into and have it churn out solid reports.
