I am actually an advocate for owning investment real estate in an LLC, but in a far simpler fashion than most believe is necessary. 

I think in these circumstances such items will be quite suitable to new fashion.

I would hazard a guess that 90% of all investors that ever made any serious money in real estate did it the old fashioned way - they bought the property and held the property, the same way that 90% of all investors that ever made any serious money in the stock market did.

I stick with good ole fashion LTR and hold them for many years.

I've used other programs in the past (Quickbooks) and an old fashioned spreadsheet, but neither worked for me.

However, I did it the old-fashioned way: increased earnings, reduced expenses, saved, and invested.

There should also be a debit card tied to the zero balance checking account that can be used in normal fashion for ATM's etc. 

REI will always have obstacles in one fashion or another. 

For instance, in my market I need to make a hurricane evac plan for my team and inform my guests in a timely fashion to evac.
