All of this is still within the free interface of podio, i have been using it for nearly 2 years now with being a realtor and have added over 10,000 contacts to my CRM workspace i created in podio...One of the main reasons i played with podio lastnight in regards to tracking my rentals over excel, was i dont know how you can add receipts and documents to excel so you can track papers per property....This is a feature i have been using heavily with the podio app on my phone lately, i have been uploading the documents when a client makes an offer to the CRM, which stores them to an organized google drive, as well on my realtor expenses side i have been using it to store all my receipts and random pictures i need to store in regards to my realtor business.. these get tagged with a date and time and i dont have to go searching for them on my google drive.
