Tenant calls and maintenance requests interrupt work, evenings, or weekends. I do not have a reliable process for screening, documentation, and lease administration. I live outside the immediate area or cannot visit the property regularly. Vendor scheduling, follow-up, and repair documentation are difficult to manage. Rent collection or enforcing lease terms has become uncomfortable or inconsistent. I am unsure whether the property is being inspected and documented often enough. I want organized owner statements, records, and a portal instead of manual tracking. The property is vacant, changing tenants, inherited, or transitioning from another manager.
