- Which software has helped you be very organized?

@Cameron Riley I use the cloud for doc storage, any will work, each property gets a folder, keep it simple. Then I use Cozy for coordination of communication of fees, leases, expenses.

@Cameron Riley I have a home office and manage all my properties + do maintenance and rehabs myself. I had over 2k miles traveled between properties, getting supplies, etc. last year.

Google Sheets. Access from anywhere on any device.

• Evernote • Dropbox • Cozy • QBO • Ring Central

@Cameron Riley I developed a software for myself and use it to manage my properties. Check it out, I'm always open to feedback and comments. getvillarentals.com

@Cameron Riley I understand avoiding subscriptions but QuickBooks online is $20 a month. The downside is that if you have no accounting experience you probably will need a bookkeeper to help set you up. If you feel like going for it: 1. Set up your chart of accounts: assets, liabilities, equity, revenue/income, expenses. Google these terms and how they are defined in accounting. 2. Link your banking account 3. Begin classifying transactions according to your chart of accounts. (This is done in “banking”) === If you don’t want to swing for it but like the idea of speeding up reporting from excel you could use “Data Validation” based on a list (YouTube it). If you create your chart of accounts in an excel list you can basically download your banking in excel format and quickly classify transactions with consistency. From there you can sum each account and quickly run a profit and loss report. I like QuickBooks because as I grow my portfolio I have all the functions I need and I can run year over year reporting. I also like tracking net worth and other financial metrics/ratios.

I have been using Quickbooks 99 since 1999. I know I should update to a newer version, but I really HATE spending money to "fix" something that still works just fine for me. So . . .

@Cameron Riley Another vote here for stessa.com . They also have the best weekly newsletter I receive!
