But comparing the two to me is like apples and oranges.  

I use iPhone to manage my vacation rentals.

So if your property appeals to a younger/millennial crowd (who, because they buy Android and not iPhone, you know are not great decision makers :) ), then it may be a good idea.

You aren't actually comparing apples to apples there, and I'm not sure where some of your numbers come from.

Devonthink Pro is a fantastic software package, and a few days ago released what finally appears to be a stable sync package that allows me to have all my documents on my iphone and ipad.As for self-managing.

A good example of this are the multifamily properties on Apple Blossom.  

You're comparing apples to oranges. 

People are just rude about this whole business and feel no compunction whatsoever to simply skip an appointment.One of the reasons I very recently got my first IPhone (ever!)

But don't be discouraged we have had plenty of good tenants and just one bad apple. 

I will gladly pay for this knowledge but I figured I would try to figure it out on my own first.I know I can get the Apple cube or the PayPal cube but I believe they charge 2 1/2 to 3% per purchase.
