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!

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.   

As far as cameras go, I know here in Baltimore the police can install cameras on top of light poles with a bright blue blinking light to monitor.

Yes, I will definitely check out the pod-casts and monitor the forums.......Thanks much, Steve

Better to spend the money for someone to look and give you a answer or the cost of a solution to better judge what you should do.

I have ~$150k tied up in this that I'd like to use for buy and hold residential but it feels like I'm trapped.Anyone have any creative solutions to end my pain on this one?

That would be my path because there's likely a solution that can be worked out. 

And, is a duplex a solution here?

Just make sure you screen your students, get co-signors and monitor the property for damage (parties).  

Hi Derek - I don't buy tax liens, but I monitor tax status for the mortgage notes I own and end up on a lot of county tax collector websites.
