Try to start looking at the situation more like an accountant or bookkeeper would look at.

My CPA says to ask a bookkeeper but I've been doing the bookkeeping for the last 12 years.

The AppFolio app that is used to manage the rental property has overcharged beyond the legal 12%many times and the bookkeeping for historical payments from tenants has been doctored to correct these mistakes by the online algorithm! 

If your books are unorganized, you may want to hire a bookkeeper to come in and clean them up. 

My personal experience was that there is a difference between a "Regular" accountant or bookkeeper and one who understands real estate.

What I like about it is that it integrates most things you just mentioned: leases, rental payments, tenant screening and it all integrates with your banking and bookkeeping.

I use quickbooks for book keeping.
