@Derrek J Hooyman I agree with @Taylor L. in that the lack of a garage is hardly an issue.

I use Airtable for this but wonder if there is something better...especially for tracking lease details and simple numbers for the P&L.

If you have a general understanding of business, how to read a balance sheet, and how to read a P+L, you should be fine.
