But they were very rate sensitive in their model. 

Very few succeed with this model and those who do are the contractor types who are driving around in their work truck putting out fires all day.

I find this hybrid model allows me more certainty about occupancy, and less work on turnovers, but I can still maximize profit. 

@Eric Fernwood we have the same business model.

There are many REI specialized accountants on this forum who provide bookkeeping and tax services, but all of us have different models of service, different approaches and different prices.

Either way we, in the simplified model, expect interest rates to lead to stagnant or falling prices.

I personally use Buildium but I'm always looking out for new features and pricing models from the others.

The one question I have is do you deduct anything for capital expenditures in this model or does that fall under the 10% maintenance?

They also have amazing customer service which makes the monthly payment model worth it for me.

We are not chained to debt markets or what lenders want for our business model.
