Originally posted by @Shane Welchexcel is not bad for 1 property, otherwise intuit software stuff (the reviled incumbent), the unusable and technologically inept gnucash, the up and coming https://www.xero.com, or the free http://www.investor-realestate-accounts.com/ , this is the one I work with, and it has accounts for real estate rental operation and does double entry. 

I wish more vets had your intuition and motivation. 

Also, in terms of areas, I typically have a robust checklist that I work off of as well as intuition that I've built over years of being in the market.

I'm on the newer side of REI but my intuition told me this property is a bit over valued.

Counter-intuitive to what I just said, the deals are probably not going to come from a broker unless they bring you something off market. 

Using the FEMA Flood Map is intuitive. 

A first hand understanding of rental rates and values in the market area - either by living in that market or having enough assets in a given market - or by partnering with someone that does - that one “intuitively” knows what the rental rate should be or what they can be brought to.Yes look at the data for sure but develop enough local market knowledge that you know without “googling” it what the rents should be.

I wish they had a bill payment system like a bank does that was easy to use and intuitive and didn't require phone calls to make changes.

My intuition just told me "better construction".They were all built about the same time, in the 1970's and they were all 2/1.  

When complete the property will feature 4 breath-taking units, a spacious lobby, renovated historic exteriors, modern interiors; all in the heart of Tucson just minutes away from the University of Arizona and downtown Tucson.This “gem” of a deal would not be possible without the systems, experience and creative intuition we have worked hard to achieve.
