BP -> Quickbooks or something elseBP -> Fav bookkeeping/accounting softwareThey don't mention Quickbooks Desktop.

Also has good basic bookkeeping features. 

Does anyone have a good sample contract that can be used when contracting with a bookkeeper?

I would definitely ask your bookkeeper or tax preparer here to make sure, so you don't lose out on some $.

Ultimately I went as far as I could using free tools and then decided to Hire a mentor because I was feeling emotionally connected to deals and my thought was the mentor would help me stay objective when analyzing, negotiating etc...my mentor has helped me be more detailed with renovation estimates, business planning, book keeping, goal setting etc...FYI, we met on a Bp virtual meet up so I would encourage you to attend a local meetup in person or virtual if you can.

They have done my estate planning, book keeping, tax preparation, and asset protection.

In addition to annual tax filings I would be interested in bookkeeping to file the state taxes monthly as they require me to insert each individual expense for both city and state.

Most bookkeeping programs have a category called 'Materials and Supplies'.

What I need right now is book keeping assistance to get the purchases set up for depreciation, plus help in identifying basis for the home and some advice on if this is the best plan going forward.

If you have a bookkeeper, ensure you provide any receipts, documentation, etc. to them on a timely basis.
