Study the actions/thoughts/emotions of those people and that will tell you exactly what you need to know and how the world functions at it's base instinctual level.

I am a SAHM who homeschools, so for now our rentals will let us function as a 2 income family while he works from home for his corporate job but the goal is eventually for him to be freed from the corporate world.

You can then use the class function to segregate properties.But you have to be able to set it up, chart of accounts etc. and the IT business that I had, I set it up for my customers.

This includes improvements to the design, functionality, and guest experience as well as general property maintenance. 

We own them 100%, and since there are no coins to collect there isn't really a reason to outsource this function.

I was thinking it could mainly work as a tool to run numbers for cash flow, since I am not sure Zillow or Trulia's alerts has that functionality?

Your traditional method is compounding annualized return, assuming each year's return is a function of the previous year's principal, which is not the case.

@Anthony Fanucci From a "functional" standpoint, having a separate entrance, separate bath, and separate kitchen for the basement helps maintain privacy.

Tenants can send maintenance requests, but we do not use this function so we're unsure of how it may meet your needs.

We lend and typically rate is a function of credit, DTI and downpayment.
