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.

We probably break even on the rent because of the extra damage pets do, but it definitely increases the number of potential applicants, espeically for houses (many of whom want a house, at least in part, because they have pets).

I'm a fan of doing rather than studying but that does not seem applicable here.  

Also I don't know if this question is even applicable to this form, but I might as well ask anyways right.

Hi @Marco Cruzatt, and welcome.I have no idea what a "So Flo" is because I'm a crotchety old man and do not keep up on the crazy slang you young whipper snappers are using, but here's a fun Fannie Mae guideline for you that may be applicable....If that applies to you, you counting as the owner occupant because you're providing housing for Mom who cannot get a mortgage, means that the owner occupant interest rate, down payment requirements, etc, will apply.

I get higher rents and better applicants.

My application process is unusual but it is simple.

Is there another software?  

We have used a 5 piece, trim to fit surround in the past for this application.
