I really think it's about taking ownership in your company and also giving your team the tools they need to function at their top level. 

I became more interested in real estate after attending a Flip or Flop Success Path free seminar.I have ALWAYS loved watching HGTV hosts flip/rehab houses because I've always had a fascination for what I called functional, livable art (architecture).

Assistance animals perform many disability-related functions, including but not limited to, guiding individuals who are blind or have low vision, alerting individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to sounds, providing protection or rescue assistance, pulling a wheelchair, fetching items, alerting persons to impending seizures, or providing emotional support to persons with disabilities who have a disability-related need for such support.

Another option would be to consider a property management software suite such as Buildium - I use if for everything from application to tenant screening to accounting, document storage, and tracking of maintenance requests, and could not function (or scale up) without it.For example, if a tenant enters a maintenance request, I can turn that into a work order, assign it (and email it) to a contractor from the system, and then pay the contractor via EFT or check out of the property's rental income (if desired) when I close out the work order.
