There are a lot of full-blown property management software systems out there with accounting modals (Builduim, Doorloop, Rentred, to name a few) but they do a lot of other things besides accounting, bookkeeping, and taxes so not the same thing as QBO.QBO has a few cheaper competitors Stessa & Digb.com that are specifically set up out of the box for real estate investors (e.g. income/expenses categories are things you'd recognize like repairs, appraisal, etc.) and there is no need to set up a separate class for each of your properties since the portfolio already includes these.

Our concern is that while the deal appears strong on an income basis (good in-place rents relative to price), it may not meet our target ROI unless the increased NOI is fully recognized in the valuation.Would appreciate insight from appraisers, or investors who’ve dealt with similar situations.Thank you !

I understand the desire to scale fast, but I'd advise taking the path of the tortoise, at least for your first few deals.Save up money and become an expert on your buy box so when a good buy comes up you'll recognize it right away.After you've bought a few properties using your own money (down payments and rehab) you'll have the experience and creditability to explore fancier funding methods.

NOTE: translating your max PITI to purchase price is dependent on interest rates and actual propety taxes.If you go this route, you'd probably want to explore fixer-uppers and use an FHA 203(k) loan to include the cost of rehab in the purchase mortgage.You could then HouseHack other bedrooms via LTR, MTR or STR, to cove part of your PITI and save for the next purchase.Or you could flip it and use any proceeds to put down on a more expensive flip or rental.Difficult to make assumptions to look at a 2-unit, but you would qualify for a higher purchase price IF the other unit was already rented out - the lender would recognize that rent as more income for you.
