It facilitates the communication with guests and automatically updates check-in and check-out dates of my guests with the help of an online form.I take care of my guests well via short text messages and email reminders.Having a general look at my availability calendars on the go is a plus, as well.”Property Management / AccountingQuickbooks pro “I'd love to use quickbooks pro but they won't allow me to import expense data, nor allow subdivision of income/expenses as I would like.”

For those of us who are not agents with MLS access, and hate to 'bug' our agents for comps all the time, are you using software that uses MLS data for the average Joe?

@Jacob Ogrady From my experience, data is king.

The OP should get some actual data - it may be that operating expenses run 60-70% of revenue - and perform a discounted cash flow analysis before making a firm offer.

So if you add value to the property the tenant, in fact, may be happier.Along with that the tenants in nicer properties may take care of the properties and neighborhood a little better, thereby improving your neighbor's properties as well.I don't have any empirical data to support my claims.

In past I've gotten error messages during searches and it was frustrating because it was while I was searching for impportant data.  

We live in Northern Kentucky and for the last 10 days the AC has been running non-stop (24 hours per day - we have a NEST that tracks actual data) with an AVERAGE household temperature of 78 (the AC actually doesn't cool down to the anticipated 72 degrees). 

That approach reeks of "eraser math" - paying more attention to favorable data and less to unfavorable.First and foremost, comps need to be realistic. 

Seems like you use many bank accounts to segregate financial data for your rental business.
