The tenant moves in next week and I will be doing a unit walkthrough and orientation with him where I will go through the key parts of the lease since he didn't sign it.A couple other things that are different from typical MTR stays:- They are not using my property management software (RentRedi) to pay rent.

Curious to get some tips from folks that have a larger portfolio (say 50+ units or larger) across multiple MF buildings (so different acquisition dates, financing, etc.) and what software you use?

Does anyone know of straight software instead of a monthly/ annual service with a fee for a commercial real estate firm with less than 150 tenants?

Get a good accounting software to track everything.

By forming a property management company, you could deduct business expenses like office supplies, software, and possibly a home office, which you wouldn’t otherwise be able to claim.

I don’t have any affiliation with them, just thought I’d share as I think it is pretty much as cheap as you can find for paid softwares with good functionality.Payments take several days to process, but tenants can automate them which is nice.

The first CPA I worked for told me that tax preparers who are unconfident would print every page generated by the tax software, to make a return look bigger even though it was bloated with unnecesaey supplemental sheets that provided little to no value.

Record lease data using software or spreadsheets, correcting any errors or discrepancies.   

Appfolio is a good software to look into!
