Quote from @Jonathan Khalily: This should be something that you can do less regularly, and a bookkeeper do for you if the money is coming into one account with the units you hold in your name/LLC.

You have have a few things contributing to that like over priced homes, rents coming down, increased  contract defaults, Mortgage rates now dropping fast causing a rebound from renters market back to buyer's market.Unless your into and secure with section 8 and have confidence in that contract and security it is tougher than 5 years ago.
