Investor Books Pro using Quickbooks / Other REI Software

[Joel Bowman]

I am rather new to Real Estate investing and only have 2 properties today that are 100% paid for. I will be expanding this to over 5 in the next year with IRA $$. While I am small, I want to build my business on a solid foundation and manage my properties myself for at least 5 years.

I am trying to figure out what software systems to use.  I just previewed Mike Butler's Investor Books Pro that uses QuickBooks and it looks pretty efficient and complete but wanted to see what some of you savvy investors may recommend for bookkeeping and tracking my business as well as analyzing potential investments. 

Any input is greatly appreciated ... Joel
