I live in Naperville and work as a software engineer.

Do you have a recommendation for accounting software that a small-time newbie like me can use?

My name is Joe McGranaghan.I'm a senior software engineer is the ecommerce space today.Also a single father of an eight year old girl.I always though 'when I got rich', I would get into real estate lol.I'm almost 40 now and realized the flaw in my plans ...So I've been reading and studying real estate for 3 months now,just devouring everything I can and taking notes, learning more.Went through various emotional stages, anger that I hadn't done this before,excitement, overwhelmed by everything I was learning, and now some clarity.So, this is my current plan to enter:Start with wholesaling.

I'm trying to get to a place where all my processes and workflows are built into and forced in the software so employees cant mess up, the software moves actions through the pipeline with and without humans.

Buildium is good property management software that is very reasonable for small portfolios.

That number has gone up some, and next year I expect to average around 5 projects at once.I've got all the training, contracts, software, etc. that I've been personally using all along, and allowing my property manager to use as they managed construction projects for me.

What is the best property management software?

Investors now have an option to use property management software. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on some software to use to help get an idea of look/feel of each unit?

That being said I have some (a lot) of question and the mentors I have in this business are for a lack of better terms (old school) they have managed many units throughout their lives, but they don't use any type of software and they have all managed the business themselfs.
