If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have 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.

So I'm going to make a guess that if I can manage 44 units plus a self-storage facility on 3-4 hours a week, if I worked your 35-40 hours / week then my systems could still handle between 200-300 units, maybe more.I outsource 100% of my maintenance and about 80% of my management is automated thru use of website, forms, electronic applications and leases. 

Electronically, find something that works for you. 5.

Amy,I've not used them with steam heat, but have used them with hydronic (hot water) systems - both the old-fashioned wax-plug/mechanical kind and the newer, electronic types.Many of the newer electronic one allow the the use of a remotely mounted thermostat and some can even be programmed for set-back times (i.e. during the work day or at night).When compared to manual radiator valves, and the humans who will not remember to adjust them, either kind of thermostatic valve will save you energy and money, but the newer electronic ones with remote thermostats/sensors and, optional programability, will save more.

Cost me a new back door and tenant lost a few electronics.

Have you considered the blue-tooth electronic locks by Janus International?
