So its about $80/year for bookkeeping software but the cloud PM offerings are all much higher on an annual basis.

I did most of the book-keeping myself but used the CPA's to file taxes and double check my work. 

Proper bookkeeping is essential and a specialized skill for flippers.

What i find at irs.gov seems to work, however my bookkeeper says its not like kind property.

I am still trying to learn the bookkeeping/accounting side of it so that my CPA won't scream at me come tax time!

@Tammy Muller here are two great threads that cover the accounting software options and feedback thoroughly: BP -> Quickbooks or something elseBP -> Fav bookkeeping/accounting softwareThey don't mention either of these options, but that might be because RentalHero &  REI Hub are full-blown property management software, and Quickbooks Online, Digb, and Stessa are accounting/tax software focused on real estate investors.

As a flipper with a small rental portfolio, I would also suggest hiring a real estate-focused bookkeeper.

The ultimate goal is to reduce the likelihood of capital calls, while at the same time streamlining work for the bookkeeping team.Example: We're buying a 40-unit apartment complex (in Michigan) with an annual property tax bill in year 1 of approximately $50,000.

I use Baselane for all of my properties to do: banking, bookkeeping, guest vetting (MTR and LTR), draft leases (MTR and LTR) and collect rents (MTR and LTR).
