With one property, a lot of landlords can genuinely wing it, know the place well enough, handle things as they come. Curious where that stops working for people. Was it a specific number of units? A specific bad year? Managing remotely instead of locally? What was the moment you realized you needed an actual system instead of just memory and instinct?

It is a poor choice regardless. Prevention is less costly than remediation. Making repairs on your schedule is usually more convenient, and cheaper, than making them on an urgent basis with a tenant in crisis mode.
