Your basically taking a monthly paid subscription.Google Docs or Open office are resources that can do everything that Microsoft Outlook does.

I need a little help building a quick and easy macro, and im having a tough time (im no programmer). Basically it works like this:

Sheet 1 is a list of 10,000 property addresses and other info.
Sheet 2 is a template ...

Microsoft Project is a fantastic software for this.

Leases:  You can add a define field in the tenant file to include when the lease expires and have it show up on all documents.You can type a form via Microsoft Word, covert it to QuickBooks and have it ready to print out any time you want.The same way with marketing. 

I was almost going to create an Microsoft Access database to hold tenants in and use that to fill in all of my rental forms as I could bang out a database app in an afternoon.  

Built on a platform that works in a similar way as Microsoft Office products, you have almost countless ways to customize how/where/when you receive and hold information, documents, communications etc. 

With commercial CRM, such as Microsoft Dynamics, it is obvious that you will have an inclusive system.

I've used SalesLogix, SageCRM, and Microsoft CRM. 

I imagine there were many others (such as no independent contractor agreement, etc), but the materials issue was documented as one contributing factor.Another example of where this could be an issue is if one of your contractors decides to try to claim unemployment benefits from you; the unemployment office will make a determination if he was an employee or contractor, and if they determine he was an employee, you'll be paying benefits (plus back FICA taxes and penalties).This was actually a real issue that Microsoft had a number of years back, because they treated their contractors a bit too much like employees, and despite the contractor contracts, the court ruled that they were actually employees.If a big company with high-powered lawyers like Microsoft can get burned by this, certainly investors need to be careful...

I've never used it before but have you tried Microsoft Projects?
