Broker-owners/office managers — how do you reconcile agent commissions right now?

For those running an office with a decent number of agents — how do you currently handle matching commission splits (with caps, team structures, referral fees, etc.) between your transaction system and your accounting software?
A few honest questions:
1. Is this manual — someone doing the split math and re-entering it — or does something already connect the two for you?
2. Has a mismatch ever caused a real problem — an agent paid wrong, a cap missed, a messy month-end close?
3. If you use something like Brokermint or a similar commission tool already, does it fully solve this, or is there still a gap?

Self-managing landlords — what’s your actual system for rent, leases, and maintenance?

Right now I’m juggling [spreadsheet / texts / whatever — adjust to something plausible], and it feels like things could fall through the cracks. For those of you with a handful of units:
How do you track rent payments and know when someone’s late?
Where do you keep leases so you can actually find them when you need them?
How do maintenance requests get logged — text, email, something else?
Anyone tried Buildium/AppFolio and bailed? What didn’t work for your size?

Mainly trying to learn from people who’ve been doing this longer than me.

Trying to get my own process tightened up and curious what everyone else actually does day to day.

Fleet/driver compliance

Hey all quick question for anyone running a small fleet (1-25 trucks) or owner-operating.

How do u currently keep track of when stuff expires - CDLs, medical cards, driver quals, inspections, IFTA, insurance? Spreadsheet? Notebook? Just... memory?

Has anything ever slipped through the cracks and cost you a fine, a truck getting parked, an insurance headache?
Not selling anything, just trying to understand how bad this pain actually is before I build something for it. Would genuinely appreciate hearing how you handle it now, even if it's "I've got a system and it works fine."
