I am a homeowner with one rental property only, and I’m in the process of getting everything set up and “streamlined”. I have purchased my domain name and would like to add an email connected to it that is separate from my personal email. Can anyone chime in with pros and cons for doing this? Anyone doing it now that has any tips? TIA

Hi, Becky! You may also want to post in the Facebook group "Unofficial OwnerRez Support Group". You might get other owners to answer on FB who don't visit this Forum as frequently. To answer your question: I know a number of folks use a gmail address and also get a Google voice phone number so they don't have to post their private number.

UPDATE: THIS IS ME EDITING MY POST!!!!! YIPPEEEE! Thanks for fixing that.

FYI to OR folks:

I realized I left out the "l" in frequently, so tried to edit. This is not the first time I've tried to edit a Forum post. I have NEVER been able to do so. Always get the message "An error occured while trying to edit the reply -"

Any suggestions?

Can both of you try editing forum posts again please? *I* can do it, and the engineers say there was a forum bug that might have been causing problems which has been fixed.

It used to give me an error. Looks like it worked this time.
