Some things in life are simple, and this is one of them: If your business plan depends on dishonesty and concealment, then it is wrong.

My plan is to get a 2 family property that is ready, I don't want to do renovations or conversions, minor cosmetic work may be ok.

The payback is around 7 years.Yes I know about submetering and all but trying to keep track of all that lots of work.

Don't make your life more complicated than it has to be.

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.

Great work! 

When a current tenant gives notice they want to end the lease, I tell them that if I can get a new tenant to sign a lease that starts at the first of the month I will give them $100 as appreciation to allow me to get the unit ready and working with me to keep the place looking good when showing it to prospective tenants.  

I don't think that's exactly how it works.

Also, I’m in Summit, NJ a lot for work.

Also we are aging and not feeling great physically working on houses.
