Eric,I myself am a first time poster, but have been reading articles on this sight for years now, and I do have a unique view on your rental problem as I recently lived in a college house (while in college) that I owned, and rented out the other rooms to students.  

For multifamily , 2-4 units , I use it to calculate rental income ============APIs won't solve this problem - as they are restricted in terms of number of calls you can make .. meaning number of records you can extract , the type of data and so on...

If there is a problem a quick phone call or face to face meeting takes care of it all. 

All that equity tied up in each property is a massive liability because a properly crafted lawsuit can gain access to all of it.Debt/Leverage is not a problem as long as it's covered by the operating income with enough buffer to weather a bad market.
