What I'm looking for would manage the financials (cash flow, NOI, income / expenses, appreciation, etc), leases and tenants info, property info, contacts (property manager, HOA, handyman, agent, broker, etc), and documents (lease, legal, closing).I found an app call Stessa that I've been playing with which looks promising and is free, but it's missing the management of contacts and I'm suspect about how it connects to external resources like banks.

My hobbies, family, friends, and persona responsibilities will change as I go through life, but I know that they will take priority over a job and creating someone else’s financial independence.I had automated my savings into an online external bank account, which allowed the money to be out of sight, out of mind and never missed.

The main road isn't optimal, but just make sure the comps for your valuation you are using reflect a similar external inadequacy and base your numbers on that.

@Patrick Ellis - can you recommend anyone to replace external commercial lighting?

I would post a link, but links to external meeting sites get deleted here.

But if you paired the camera with an external IR illuminator, I imagine the nighttime graphics would be great, without disturbing the naked-eye lighting.

Do you need an external office space?

This weekend I'm going to do some preventive maintenance by:Checking sump pumpsCheck external spigotsTry and clear snow with roof rake.??

Depending on how you are using the cashflow from the properties, you may want to be less concentrated by spreading your investments over more properties and geographies giving you a broader exposure and limiting the chances of rent interruptions placing strain on cashflow giving spillover effects to however that cashflow is being utilized.Considering the external factors which we'll never be able to control - macro economic trends, regulatory, taxation, etc vs the internal factors - budgeting for r&m, capex, ensuring quality tenants, etc - my personal philosophy is to be more diversified through lower value assets which have less marginal impact when one gets rent interrupted rather than concentrate on assets with higher valuations but give potentially more external factor risk.

From reading between the lines, it seems like Thomas S. isn't advocating illegal behavior, but asking what external triggers give you pause, or might cause you to look within your legal rights to deny an applicant.
