Currently top three contenders are Quicken, Quickbooks (online), and XeroMy CPA works mostly in Quickbooks, but has experience with Xero and Quicken.  

Multifamily and single family are top contenders for starters and yes I am researching and learning so thanks for your 2 cents 😀.

For example, RentRedi is free now if you are a BP Pro member that could potentially make it a contender with Innago for my use.Also, I think Innago just added bookkeeping features, but we use Stessa (free) which specializes in rental property bookkeeping.

@Dave Kapsack I would suggest you to consider Pittsburgh as a contender in your market search.

Here is a scenario that I would contend is likely to happen. 

I certainly don't think it's impossible, and I understand how to contend with things like high property tax and the pro-tenant rules.

I will definitely research online reviews of all the contenders and I will only deal with licensed, insured, bonded (any other adjectives needed, haha?)

I'm taking my time to run the numbers - the strong contenders are Ohio (Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus), Indianapolis (I know the area well since I lived in that area), and Memphis.

I would never rent a home due to my need to defer liability (all other expenses of ownership) to the tenant, but most would contend that free and clear property in an appreciating market is attractive at much less than I would suggest that you consider a long term lease (3-5 years) with an option to sell at market price (your desired price) during the lease term.

They asked my advice and I contend that Person A should pay 80% of work defined by the IRS as capital improvements and Person B should pay 60% of what the IRS defines as repairs.How do unequal partners normally split the costs for capital improvements vs repairs?
