Digital records vs. physical vs. BOTH - what is your practice?
Hi there!
In the midst of putting together a property management company in NJ and am wondering what other PM's generally do.
I have always been a stickler for duplicate documentation in both physical folders as well as on servers/ cloud. Are there new practices in the industry that are in place or perhaps PM's are totally doing without one vs. the other?
Curious to know what you do?

I do both but know that I shouldn't. I started storing digitally on floppy disks and a ZipDrive (i'm in my 60's) but now the drives don't exist to retrieve the data so I printed everything. Now I store everything in the cloud on OneDrive but still keep printing. Some day I'll believe that the internet is not a fad and is here to stay and stop printing :)
