Landlords with 1-3 units lack record-keeping software that matches their scale, finding existing tools overbuilt and overpriced for their needs.

Existing software is designed for larger portfolios, making it overkill in features, cost, and setup complexity for small landlords, while spreadsheets are inadequate for tracking rent, maintenance, and income/expenses in one place.
