I'm looking for a spreadsheet or tool to use an example to log and track hours spent on real estate Managment.

Not impressed with other large institutional managers who are very light with boots on the ground and in many ways have the attidude they are assisting you in managing the property, not managing it for you.

You must learn to manage the property well.

I'm using a property management software (TurboTenant) for rental applications and screening reports, and they charge each prospective tenant $45 for this service.However, the Wisconsin State Legislature states that the landlord can only charge the actual cost of a credit report (up to $25).

I have one asst. manager doing book keeping weekly on over 400 units. 

If the lienor failed to follow the statutory requirements to perfect the lien, the title insurer will probably advise the management company of the problem and request they record a release. 

My manager is largely responsible for that. 

If it's a lender that does not allow me to speak to an underwriter, see guidelines, or speak to an account manager, I will try not to work with them, unless I know the Account Executive is very experienced.
