I've used software to build a more effective and efficient managing system so that I spend far less time on the actual work of managing our assets.

Most property managers will have management software that will push listings out to dozens of websites and gather info from potential tenants.

So I specialize in that software.

I bought the first house in CA ( Contra Costa) - 350k.I'm working as a full-time employee, software engineer, making around 126k per year.How much I can deduct:1)interest (1st year is about 9.5k interest payments). 2)property taxes (I heard maximum deduction for prop taxes - 10’000)3)home insuranceCan I deduct them all?  

thoughts on PM software instead of a company?

That can be a great way to grow the value without being invested in the Wall Street casino. 

I don't have a CPA yet and was hoping to do this myself with one of the tax software but it looks like it might be best if I do hire a CPA for this.

Our state's (and Las Vegas') largest employer is MGM Resorts, and the other casinos are a huge source of employment as well.

I know others use software, but I like to be able to grab the book and quickly write things down rather than go to my computer, open the program and find the file-just easier and faster for me.

Can anyone recommend any accounting software that will allow us to track construction, JV money in, and multiple business entities?
