Regarding bookkeeping, consider using a software such as QuickBooks.

Hi @Chris Muller, I would say an income/expense tracker is fairly common for majority of landlord softwares. 

@Nick Pass -  I use a property management software. 

Everyone knows how a key works, haha.My favorite tech that we invested in is actually a messaging software.

The software itself does not work well, their "deep trace" technology hasn't shown me much of anything on most of the calls that have come in.

Track your transactions using a simple accounting software like Quickbooks or a project management software such as Buildium. 

Like the pro membership is $40 a month, if it was saving me $40 through:cheaper insurancelower closing costsdiscounted materials getting my rental rented fastercheaper screeningsdiscounted software like buildium, quickbooksetcThen you have a value proposition where it's a no brainer to be a pro. 

@Jorge Uribe you may want to consult a real estate CPA as it sounds like you're growing your portfolio, but early on the top tier of Turbo Tax software worked well for me.

I get tired of seeing the same questions about property management software or how to find a property manager. ;) 

Clearly defined criteria, and accepting the first applicant to meet that criteria is the best way.Completely up to you, but I'd also recommend using a software system to help you advertise and screen applicants.
