So with the recent purchase of a house that is going to be used as a rental property, I'm looking for some means of managing the property, expenses for it, bills due (hopefully not many), tenant contracts etc.
OpenMaint is one solution, but it really seems to be overkill for the goal. The installation process / documentation was difficult to follow as well for a self-hosted approach.
Estatio is another, but their documentation was even worse than OpenMaint's.
Does anyone have any recommendations or solutions I should be considering? Has anyone used either of these?

For one property I think I would just use a folder with the word, excel, pdfs, etc in it.

I'd like to be setup in a business fashion. Not something SOHO in nature if at all possible.

P.S. The OpenMaint link is broken.
Fixed, maybe they require www. . . . only thing that wasn't on the link.

@dustinb3403 needs https://
The link resolves without it, and the website doesn't use SSL. The link works. quit harping on it.
-
@aaronstuder Browser cache? I just tested it again, and it resolved.

No experience with those, maybe I should test them out. Of course, now I'm selling off the house so....

Ooh I going to look at this, sounds interesting

There is good docker image for OpenMaint, that I used while ago and it worked. Saves you countless hours.
https://github.com/rsilva4/docker-openmaint
It comes with 4 containers, you only need 2, you can shutdown :
Geoserver+BIMServer
The other 2 are for Postgres +OpenMaint

I'm not sure if your goal is to track warranties of things installed, or track expenses and the financial side of it. (or both) Have you talked to your accountant? My accountant told me what they wanted to see, and it amounts to about 4 spread sheets. All of my other documentation goes in to some google doc folders.

4 spread sheets? is that 4 different single things? or 4 sheets of things, and what makes the break from one sheet to the next?

@dashrender Off the top of my head, it's a sheet of expenses, mileage, taxes, and income.
