The Best Maintenance Request System for Your Residents

Once you start managing more residents, but aren't quite ready to jump into a full on property management company, what do you suggest for a great maintenance request system?  Fielding emails and texts are fine, but to work more professionally, I'd like to start using a more formal approach.

@Aaron Wyssmann I like the idea of creating a website..  I am pretty handy with creating websites through google sites, I might give this a try. 

Through google sites I could establish a workflow system that residents could fill out and like you said, it could just be emailed to me.  I wonder what else I could automate by using a google site and/or simplify things?  Possibly the application process?  

I think Buildium sounds like a great tool to be using, but at only 6 units, I think there are just as efficient ways to manage property that won't cost $500 a year.  

I just started using Cozy for auto rent payments and this seems like it's going to be an awesome method to transfer rent payments.
