I started with a Michigan LLC/LP entity set up to hold the properties.

I tried to set up quickbooks online, but without paying $720 a year for the ability to do class tracking, it seems like it wouldn't be as beneficial.I know there are other tools out there more geared towards real estate like xero, etc, but I'm still trying to avoid paying so much every month.Has anybody used realtyzam or rentalhero (rentalhero.io) they seem to be linked? 

Currently I'm using propstream, I was having some issues getting my account with batchleads set up and their service hasn't really been the best with assistance.

We use DealCheck to underwrite deals and QuickBooks Online for everything else post-closing on the purchase.Quickbooks Setup:- Classes allow for separate P&Ls for each property. - Products & Services enable us to track each 'phase' of the rehab. - Projects give us visibility on my projects- My CPA can easily access the reports for tax preparation.

Once you have those dates nailed down, have your setup team at the house opening the rest of the boxes and setting things up, that way you have someone to receive the delivery who is not just getting paid to wait around. 

This ensures your books match the timing of your taxable income.It sounds like you're off to a great start—make sure everything is categorized correctly and consult a CPA to confirm your setup.

I have an offer in on a property setup exactly the same with big house in front and a little additional unit.

Additionally, set up home searches in each market.

Citibank, ScotiaBank.Maybe you could have him setup an account at one of those and just deposit from a local branch in the US.ScotiaBank has some pretty good international accounts with free transfers.

With the 2 fridges it seems set up for that.
