How are you guys actually managing your rentals day-to-day?

I feel like every software/tool out there is either insanely expensive or overbuilt for what I need. I’ve looked at a bunch of them and can’t justify paying monthly just to track basic stuff.

Right now I’m basically running everything out of Excel — rents, expenses, tenant info, etc. It works, but it’s clunky and easy to mess up as things scale.

Curious what everyone else is doing:

- Are you just sticking with spreadsheets?

- Using any lightweight / cheaper tools?

- Or is there something actually worth paying for?

Would love to hear what’s working in the real world.

Can we post a craigslist listing if we are connected to the lister?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on something for my own real estate deals and finally got a version live.

I originally built it because I was tired of jumping between spreadsheets, calculators, and notes just to evaluate one deal.

Right now it helps with:

•	analyzing deals (flip, rental, land)

•	estimating ARV / market value

•	suggesting offer ranges (safe / aggressive / investor)

•	tracking deals through a simple pipeline (so nothing falls through the cracks)

The goal is just to make it faster to go from:

👉 deal → numbers → decision → tracking

instead of using 3–4 different tools.

Still refining it and trying to make it actually useful for real investors, not just another calculator.

Would honestly appreciate any feedback — good or bad — especially from people actively doing deals.

I’m curious which area in Bangkok you’d want to buy in, and what type of condo you’re looking for. 👀

Found a simple construction budget tracker (Excel + guide). It’s helpful for tracking expenses and avoiding going over budget. Let me know if you want the link.
