One of the biggest challenges for everyone involved is being on the same page about the actual time required for maintenance.DIY landlords rarely properly track their time when it comes to property management in general - tracking their true time invested in maintenance is where they perform the worst.Investors that hire PMCs are rarely any better at understanding the true amount of time maintenance takes.

Not even Balance Sheet.I don't know if they changed their model since the change of subscription plan but it isn't ideal to use it as depreciation or amortization.They do have a balance sheet.
