Need some honest advice pleaseWe run a small real estate business - we have been investing in multi-family and small industrial for 20+ years, both as an LP and as a sponsor providing preferred equity to developers.We were spending a ton of time 1) processing and organizing monthly and quarterly reports from our developers and partnerships — tracking performance, spotting issues, comparing progress across deals, and 2) writing reports for our own investors.
