To apply it to your question, Appfolio tracks property and tenant information, while allowing tenants, vendors, and owners to create portals for online payments, maintenance requests and tracking, and document sharing.

Some of the tips to make the SDIRA process less cumbersome include 1) Leaving a pad of cash for expenses 2) Using a property manager to keep things arms-length 3) Using the online portal for quick processing of bills that need to be paid. 

We'll openly discuss a volume discount with GREAT clients that make an effort to learn to use their owner portals and not make everything an emergency.

Putting the utilities in my tenants name isn’t an option for some of the units I own because they’re multi unit properties that aren’t separately metered.My question is this: is there an online portal available that allows you to easily go in and charge a variable expense like utilities every month?

"It's on the web portal" doesn't constitute training!

Is their an online portal?

Today mine went to batched but my landlord says his portal says processed.

When some glitch happens on the auto ownere doors I'll ditch them and move those to nreig.com so all will be on one portal / view / easy to manage.

I make statements available 24/7 via online management portal and provide anytime a tenant needs (or wants) to see their history.
