Suppose you are looking to buy and manage a portfolio of approximately 50 commercial and residential sites. Search the Web for property management software and select two packages that you would consider to help you stay organized.
In a spreadsheet, identify at least 10 different areas where the software could help you, such as collecting rent, performing tenant background checks, and scheduling building maintenance. Capture a screenshot of the completed spreadsheet and paste the image into a Word document. In the same document, write a 350- to 750-word summary to explain how each package addresses these functions and also how you could perform the task using general-purpose software such as Excel. Be sure to provide citations in APA style for any sources you used to construct your response to this Application Assignment.
