It's amazing how people on these voting committees single in on issues that should not stand in the way of community progress like landscaping, parking, and dog parks.

I own and manage 5 single family homes. 

It is difficult to achieve this on a single day. 

I am attempting to purchase a triplex and a duplex on a single 2.5 acre parcel.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

However, its downfall (and really what makes it so easy) is that it is a single-entry system. 

For real estate the will calculate what your return would be if you purchase a single-family home at market rate and hold it for ten years.

I think renting out a single family can be a viable option for some people as long as they understand it's not going to cashflow like a multi. 

Wife and I bought a 3 bedroom single family home in Merced CA.

As a single family 2500  in Ridgeleys Delight but would atleast give a washer/dryer.
