:It's not really clear what your total situation is, but in general terms you should have the total arsenal in your back pack.

About 40-50 pods in total I would guess.I also have Splenda, sugar, and regular CoffeeMate creamers (singles).

Yes, QuickBooks Online for owner-level books + your PM’s Buildium for tenant/operations is the best combo.QBO structure: use Locations = each property; Classes = Owner vs PM activity.Chart of accounts mapping: mirror Buildium’s categories (rent, repairs, utilities, fees) so imports line up 1:1.Monthly workflow: export Buildium GL/owner statement → import to QBO (journal or detail) and tag to the right Location.Keep these in QBO (not Buildium): mortgages/escrows, insurance, pre-PM repairs, licenses, mailbox/RA, general overhead.Bank feeds & rules: auto-tag recurring spends; reconcile monthly.Outputs for lenders/accountant: P&L by Property (Location), Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, Debt Schedule, and a Schedule-E pack.

I'd totally stay there. 

Also, per their numbers they are buying for 37 mil, debt 24 mil, equity 20 mil, 44mil minus 37 price = 7 million in closing costs, which is 35% of the total equity, RE commissions of say 4% total 1.5 mil so they are taking 5.5 million in fees up front as well minus the inspections/loan fees etc.
