Replacing the tub entirely is usually a costly proposition and I would do it only if the tub was not functional.

Almost all software has the functionality to memorize a transaction, all you then have to do is change the date and amount and it splits the details.

Many of the items that NOW require a permit did not require a permit previously.The first thing I would do is have licensed contractors/tradesmen evaluate the work and make sure it all functions correctly. 

@Nathan McBride if the appliances are functional and safe, then I would not change them until the tenant moves out.

I think Cozy.co for screening/rent collection and then QB for bookkeeping works well.Cozy has expense tracking but I don't see that they have P&L reports or other functions you would want out of a bookkeeping software.

If your current system is heating your house just fine, why spend $7000 to get a system that will heat your whole house (given you replace the system when it is still functioning properly)?
