Currently I have a single one and am looking to acquire a 3 or maybe 4 flat here in Chicago, or another couple of properties in Kentucky.There are a few things l'd like to have:Tenant portal for announcements and service requests / status bits and paymentsMisc expense tracking of consumables for a property for maintenance and general upkeepTrack recurring costsSome tools to visualize the cash flowsI could do it manually, but know it would be possible to, for a given property, generate more or less the total ROI ie: "Over the past 4 years, this property has paid for itself and generated $YY in income" or maybe "When full, this 4 flat generates $ZZ worth of income, but averages $BB in expenses due to maintenance", etc.The other option, which I'm entirely comfortable with (I'm a software engineer by trade and have worked in this industry for 10+ years) is simply writing my own and likely then open sourcing it (aka giving it away for free).What are everyone else's lists of "must have" vs "nice to have pony features"?

My goal is no pictures on the internet and never a public announcement of where I will be on the internet. 

IRS Announcement 2002-18 

This does not preclude the Property Manager from otherwise soliciting potential Clients or making general announcements about his or her own services.

Imagine what would happen by Super Bowl next year.I think that the current home prices in Pittsburgh are somewhat artificial due to the recent Beltline announcements and the proximity to downtown...I mean man, prices have literally shot up $130k on some streets in one year there.

So yes, my issues were fixed...AFTER I had to publicly announce them.I am open to exiting the property, but not selling to Jay.

Registration process is tougher as you MUST have a recored warranty deed (they used to allow stamped PTA).Also, last week they announced changes to their Lead-Based Paint Inspection requirements.

We list everything we think has about an 80% probability of happening, with any correlated extra fees if it's not covered by the management fee.Well, no one could have foretold a pandemic would hit the world, or the resulting Eviction Moratoriums, so it wasn't covered by our contract.We sent out a message to all our landlord clients in April 2020, when the first round of government rent funds was announced.

We go to settlement tomorrow and I'm pleased to announce that after much fight we've purchased the unit outright from the solar company.

DEAD ASLEEP like would not move when we banged on the door.We eventually announced our presence in force (agent, pm, & me) and we cautiously entered they eventually woke but the agent and pm have said that it can go very bad very quickly.Also, check your rental agreement as mine has language that states that I can enter without them present so long as notice has been provided/delivered.
