The fastest way to save money is always to not have any recurring monthly debt looming overhead.

If it was me, I would look at actual expenditures, but add-back anything that is non-recurring/extra-ordinary (roofs, parking lots, repainting exterior, etc).

Be sure to separate non-recurring, capital improvements from operating expenses.

Renters you pay their rent online are less likely to pay their rent late, since you can schedule automatic, recurring payments. 

For homeowners, this means loan mortgages, insurance, property taxes, utilities and maintenance.Meanwhile a renter’s recurring cost payment include the monthly rent, insurance, pet rent (if you have pets) and utilities.

A close friend of mine was in the same shoes as you.Before giving the middle finger to his corporate job he paid off all his credit cards, bought pre-paid gift cards for food, restaurants, movies, and other leisure items, he got his medical and dental checkups done while he was still on insurance, and reduced recurring expenses in order to live as lean as possible in start-up mode. 

Allow you to generate recurring income.

I have recurring invoices set up that automatically go out to each tenant on the 24th of each month for their rent.
