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

@Jeremy HartYou've confirmed my suspicions, Jeremy.

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?

& reserve costs...usually because those costs can vary so much.All of these numbers are confirmed during Due Diligence, usually.

I'll have to confirm that - not getting too excited until I talk to a few sources.

They usually meet the 3rd Thursday of each month but confirm on the website if you plan to attend an upcoming meeting as (very rarely) sometimes they have to do a different day.Also your profile says you're from Boston so if you do anything in Mass I'd recommend the Black Diamond Real Estate Investors group (blackdiamondrei.com) as they are also a good size and helpful (and, like RIREIG, don't try to sell you stuff :)

Is there another software?  

I did confirm employment and background and both came back fine.  

With this method it will confirm that the funds used for the next house were from my day-job paycheck, transferred weekly to the business account until it reached 20k.
