I need to put in new flooring, heating system, bathrooms, kitchen, replaster walls etc.

I have been using Smartmove and that system works very well I will have to give Experian a try 

It's called "balancing the system."

This time I will concentrate on multi-family apartment property instead of single family houses.

Your bookkeeping system can tag income and expenses with a property ID or use subaccounts to keep track of income and expenses by property.Since you are a sole proprietor, there is no issue with co-mingling funds and using the same checking account for both personal and rental activities, but, it is much simpler for record keeping to have a separate checking/savings account for the rentals.I have charged stuff on my personal credit card for my rental properties, because I get "rewards" for my charges.  

Looking to buy and hold multi family properties in SECT. 

I am interested in small single and multi family homes and am currently in the process of buying my first property!

I lean towards the ideas of multi family and apartments, but I'm open to a lot of new ideas as I keep learning. 

Currently in Washington state the real estate prices are very high, so I am looking to invest on out of state properties - multi family or SFH.
