OK I am a retired engineer but my slide rule has been packed away.I would very much like to find an experienced REI CPA who can use Turbo Tax(TT) as well as their professional software.    

If you get a property under contract, they most likely will require POF's either at the time you submit the offer or after acceptance.

If they are paying replacement cost they pay the actual cash value up front and the rest when the project is finished and proof of completion and payment has been submitted.  

SEC 8 will require you submit paperwork saying you are the new owner and you can request the higher rent.  

thanks Matt,As you probably see, I am new to real estate biz, I spent 12 years running product team in the software company which built POS solutions for retail sector.So RE is my next venture, and from what I see so far the name of the game today and for years to come is choosing right technology and marketing tools.So it's tough with out experience in RE to define all systems and processes, I am beginning to understand the theory and systems on the high level, but I am sure once I actually spend sometime working it will be much easier.I feel like the best thing to do at this point is to focus on basics like CRM and print, emai, text, social marketing campaign automation, once those things are in place and work smoothly, will be able to proceed to stage 2,To be frank, I am looking to learn this business and then comeback into software sector in RE segment, lot of good tools out there but as usual - lots of gapsI will be happy to keep intouch and colobirate on these topics

Hello all,My mother-in-law has two houses (one SFH, one two-family) that she owns and I'm about to take over the day to day managing of them, and I wanted to get people's advice and input regarding software for bookkeeping purposes.Through my accountant, I can get a discounted rate on Quickbooks Online Pro for $20 a month, and that's locked in for life.It looks like QBO is not geared specifically towards landlords and rental properties, but is more generic for any kind of small business, although I do see plenty of people giving it good reviews.Of course every product claims to be the best, but I'm curious to get other people's opinion on both QBO and any other software out there that they use.Thanks.

From what I'm reading it appears to be a software for commercial properties?

Here's one I thought of: "All potential tenants must be submitted to seller for approval, prior to signing any lease."

Is there another software?  

Just submitted another offer and feeling hopeful I will win😃😃Until then I will continue working..
