I currently have QuickBooks, but I'm not sure if it is possible to incorporate maintenance requests/ticketing, late payment notices, and other landlord specific tools.

I'm looking particularly to cater to the rural markets as well, trying to target locals driving to mountain destinations for short getaways.

That's about all I care about as I hold on to the asset that will in 10-20 years be my meal ticket. 

For one property, Xcel is plenty adequate.Quickbooks is really a square peg/round hole deal for rentals of any kind.

@Jesse Santos whenever a prospective tenant wants to negotiate I tell them: “sure we’re always willing to accept more”, and then I don’t say another word.As a rule of thumb, if you enter into the negotiating game with a prospective tenant early on, you will be living with that their entire tenancy on all their maintenance requests, late payments, pet requests, etc.They have already shown you who they are as you thought the initial negotiations were over and then they brought you to round two.

Headline (total) inflation for the past month was negative, -0.1%.Core inflation (total inflation minus food and energy) was up only 0.065%, so it gets rounded to 0.1% increase.

We do annual inspections and monitor the condition and remaining life expectation of big-ticket items like roofs, windows, HVAC etc 

We keep our house at 72 year-round.

Think year round rentals.

However, the market has changed in that time period with interest rates changing and homes staying on the market longer and longer.You mentioned the big ticket mechanical items for the house, but it sounds like paint, flooring, kitchen and bathrooms we're mostly untouched.
