This is actually a very cost effective solution.

Hello,I am trying to find a property management software (if possible online) that I can use do do accounting for my properties, but that will also track the equity in each property using current market values (is possible pulling them from Zillow, but I'm OK entering them myself) and tracking my mortgages and the additional principal that gets paid off every month.Ideally, I'd like to have a dashboard that will track the net worth of the portfolio over time, and use not only the rental income, but also any equity increase to determine overall ROI.I've tried out about 15 online property management solutions, but most of them seem to be built for management companies that manage properties on behalf of third party investors, and are lacking the above features.Does anyone know about any software that would do the above, without missing some of the essential property management features (such as full ledger accounting for example).Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Roof repairs, caused by fallen trees, Cable Dishes on homes, natural disasters from heavy winds, can puncture that theory to pieces.

Little things like spotlights, cutting back shrubs and trees from in front of windows and doors, fences, locking gates, alarm signs, using cameras in some instances, caging AC units and placing the AC unit in the back yard behind fencing, using security doors in front and back and lastly keeping properties occupied.  

What is the real estate market like in this and the surrounding area? Looking to relocate down there and wanted to see how the market was. Does anyone have an advice?

topography (slope), trees, mineral rights?

Generally, anything that is permanently attached is considered real property and would be included.So, a building or tree = yes.A mobile home, vehicle, or piece of furniture = no. 

This is the lowest hanging fruit on the tree and some of it is even on the floor, waiting to be picked up.  

Because I have questions to ask before giving out advice so I know which to share depending on the individual needs and solutions that have not already been explored.   

this looks rough. really rough. cut down trees and pressure wash. or else the look will come back in 1 yrwish you nothing but luck simply because you jumped in!
