First-time landlord needs a property management app that scales, replacing current manual spreadsheets and shared drive for managing rental units.

Existing solutions like RentRedi and Buildium may be too complex or expensive for a small portfolio, and the current manual setup (spreadsheets + Drive) lacks integrated rent tracking, tenant screening, and repair management, forcing the user to juggle multiple tools.
