Quote from @Albert Bui: The "real life," cashflow for me has been a decade + journey especially when you're referring to consistent predictable cashflow spanning an accumulation of purchases of apartment units. 

If you must retain some cash, consult a tax advisor to understand the liability and optimize reporting.

These platforms are affordable and offer comprehensive reports (credit, background, eviction history) without you having to handle sensitive information directly.Verify Employment and Landlord History: Your plan to request pay stubs and a landlord reference is solid.

There will likely be a partnership return required where you flipped a house with a partner and lost $120,000.If you sold the other property within the same partnership, it will also be reported on that partnership return.The net result to you is that you will receive a K-1 showing your income / loss which you then use to report on your individual return.If you made no money within the same year, you likely pay no additional taxes / get no additional refund.Best of luck.

If you only have one LLC and don’t need entity tracking, you could get a lower subscription and categorize your properties as ‘customers’, then units and tenants would be sub-customers.Simple Start would allow you to invoice your tenants (if desired through QBO) and produce basic reports. 

But maybe your tenant reaching out and mentioning that they're going to be forced to file a police report for fraud could generate some traction...obviously the real objective here is to just get the seller to call you back...
