I'm currently using Office 2007 and thinking of upgrading.Office 365 looks good cause it is always up-to-date and is allowed on up to 5 computers, but it is a recurring cost.Office 2013 looks good cause it is a one time cost, but will eventually become outdated and is allowed on only one computer.I figure this is a REI relevant question cause I'm sure almost everybody here uses Word, Excel and possibly Outlook.

While this company only manages properties they rehabbed themselves, and as such is already familiar, I’m less included to question this one than the recurring fees, which will add up to far more money over time…the whole “pick your battles” thing.NSF: 100%.

Worth pointing out the prior tenant was kicked out at the end of contract for recurring late and missed payments so the unit was left in bad shape.  

I want some type of recurring request to be automated so I don't have to be involved with that task.

I'm also looking at the "SumpSpot", it's similar but WiFi, so no recurring fees (and I'm working on getting WiFi in all my cottage rentals anyways).http://www.absoluteautomation.com/sumpspot-wifi-sump-pump-alarm-for-texting/

I’m not in it for the appreciation I’m in it however the regular and recurring payments that will support me in retirement.

I'm not (at least not for more than 2 of my units).I don't deal with ACH, tenant screening (professionally) and all that stuff that's offered with these services.What I do need is a program to easily add a new property/unit, put in the rent, any recurring or one-time costs, mortgage info, purchase price and associated costs and the same for any sale transaction on the property.

You can train the agents on how to sell property management services, maybe even direct investors to you for recurring business.

. ;)Seriously, you need to make your rental tenant-proof because they're typically not smart enough to know that recurring water can damage things.

For renters, a $3 ACH fee applies for recurring payments and a 3% card fee when using a credit or debit card."
