I use Stessa for accounting, I love it, it links right to my bank account/credit card accounts and I can assign purchases to different properties and units of the property for multi-unit properties and at the end of the year I have a simple report to give my tax professional 

A simple example I have used before illustrates this point.  

In an unsecured investment, you literally have no recourse to get your money back.

all of the things your talking about are readily available to you with simple google searches etc.PS BP has work shops that cost some money I have not been but I suspect those would be well worth the money..

@Mark Cruse I can't quite tell if you're joking (so just excuse me for being too literal) but giving tenant reviews is via the platform from which they booked your place.

This is literally the biggest obstacle for any data center development today.

From a landlord perspective, its great to be able to provide these simple services/amenities at no cost to us, yet empower the tenant to enroll in programs like this.

You are literally paying to play property manager. 

Simple answer - avoid the mega banks.

I work with tons of investors, both local and out of state and 1 very common problem I see that is holding new investors back from getting a deal is 1 simple thing... getting stuck on the list price.
