I like to be proactive and to make sure we have all avenues covered, meaning, is there a specific software I should use to keep all the accounting records or will Quickbooks be fine.

Have you ever used the property management software Cozy?

I guess as a board member myself and with two other board members that I am very close with I would be able to closely monitor that situation.

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 believe it is an advanced strategy to continually monitor and consider the effect different options have on your DTI as it related to future borrowing power (for conventional loans/financing). 

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?

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.
