You can use it for marketing, communicating with tenants, and tracking reviews.

Efficient landlords know to repair and bill as the tenancy progresses to avoid major costs at turn over.

Unfortunately, most low-income renters think a $150/month power bill is "normal,"  so communicating the value is sometimes tough.

Currently single pane, metal frame, very non-energy efficient (tenant responsible for electric bill).

I live in & have my own small vacation rental in South Lake Tahoe and I also help with the bookings and communications for 2 larger VRs for a friend here as well.

It works well and efficiently.

Hopefully they will communicate back soon.

I was recently laid off (which was a blessing in disguise) and trying to figure out a way to efficiently supplement my missing income while having a flexible/ self-managing schedule.

An alternative could be that you intern for a small company, with the express purpose of gaining development experience, or at least that's how you should communicate it to them.

@Precious Thompson  I would suggest you prepare to leave by April 30, 2017 and contact a tenant advocate to assist you in reviewing your lease terms and communicating with property management.
