It forces me to get real familiar with my business and how my properties are performing.

Aloha Shay, I am on Oahu, but about 10% of my business is on the Big Island.

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

As a landlord, you are representing yourself to the public as a business. 

Not sure about MTRs.My general conclusion was that it is tough to do business in the town if your goal is to buy property as pure rentals out the gates and no intention to occupy.

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

Unfortunately, the tenant didn’t think me showing up to have a brief conversation was important enough to fit me in her busy schedule.

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.

Operating your rental like a business is mandatory to protect you, your ROI, and your property.Hope this helps...
