@Brian Capossela, No one understands the pain of taxes more than a resident of CA!!!

Definitely agree with you—chasing lease renewals and tracking maintenance gets messy fast without a system.Here are my top 3 pain points:Late or inconsistent rent payments – Especially when tenants pay by check or want to pay in non-digital ways.

Anyone else notice the same thing and think this may be the root cause of Wendy's pain?

Is this normal for less than 3 year tenant.crushed from across the entire country:Baltimore - a path to never-ending pain

The app and websites are way less user friendly than Airbnb though, so it's kind of a pain 😅On the app, you push the "property details" button from the three line drop down menu on the bottom right corner, choose the property you want to edit, and then push the "edit photos" button towards the top right of the page.

I'm specifically looking for:The exact process (step-by-step what you do)How often you do itWhat tools you currently use (if any)What makes it painful/time-consumingHow much you'd pay to solve itExample: 'I spend 3 hours every Sunday manually updating my deal pipeline spreadsheet by copying data from 5 different websites, cross-referencing comps, and calculating ROI scenarios.

Also a pain. 

Is there a better strategy out there now than door knocking or is this just the growing pains?
