I managed it with spreadsheets and notepad on my phone only and used no accounting software the most part.Would you guys find more use in a service that replaces hands quickly or just having an app on your phone and computer to manage your flip projects that's visually appealing and easy to scale with?

THE CITY WAS RECOMMENDED BY OUR PROPERTY MANAGER.

My first two weeks I had to find out what Facebook Groups were, some training is done through FBG's  some is done through Zoom, and certain things have to be done, and training met before they will work with you at all.

I suspect, if you plan to hold the property long term, they actually are worth the cost.
