@Ben ScottWe use Propertyware, have experience with Buildium and have played with Appfolio and RentManager.Buildium is for smaller companies.The other three are tied, the differences being how much automation & customization you want to do.If you don't see yourself growing beyond 150 units, go with Buildium.If you're not very techy and plan to grow over 150 units, we'd recommend Appfolio.If you're techy and plan to grow over 150 units, we'd recommend Propertyware or RentManager.Of course, schedule some demos, take GREAT notes and them make your decision.FYI - there are MANY new options on the market, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Apartments.com, Rentec, most will not survive, so you would then have to switch:(

Do the surviving partners get that investor’s shares or do they have to deal with relatives that may be ignorant and/or greedy?

In our lease, in addition to the normal requirements for keeping the property clean, we specifically include the requirement for the tenant to provide professional carpet cleaning upon departure, receipt required and we also provide vendor contacts for a couple who do it to our standards.These vendors will recommend any additional treatments for stains, pet odor, ozone, etc. knowing we will do these if the tenant does not choose to.Two reasons: if they don't, its an easy defense for the charges taken from the security, and;the cleaned carpets are much easier to evaluate for whether or not they will survive another turn.

I agree with @Theresa Harris.

Don't plan around a downcycle as they don't last , just plan to survive it ;)
