Those remote flips and high cash flow rentals are so tempting on paper, but they rarely go well in reality. 

We still manage but we can, and at times do it all remotely, all while having a mortgage on ALL of the properties.  

We've found it has superior reporting features, integration features, and is overall more efficient to work within than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.

They even integrated a D4D feature, so overall they have DealMachine beat.
