PMs can minimize their suffering from unrealistic expectations by showing comparable properties that are on the market for rent and having a discussion with the landlord as to how their property compares and how his property can be more attractive to renters.Landlords are running a business. 

Possible to maybe build one similar to this with an add on for small business owners and REI's. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xYOKT2eNS588cj6_8jVv2vobAfAhCVUd/htmlview#gid=1221524195

At some point, everyone wants cash to start a business, buy your dream home, or go on an incredible vacation with your family.

I also have talked with this company but I feel they are not telling me the whole story, makes me leery of this business.

I then did the same idea in my business that I had for 25 years.

You need the right solution for your day to day operations.Your need is to make the management side easy, so that you can analysis your accounting, business and management all with only one entry.

In south Florida, there are a ton of free RE networking events where contractors, agents, mortgage brokers, etc all meet for drinks etc and I have found this to be a great way to find good people in the business.
