Very easy program to work with and edit if you need to make changes and also cost effective, you don't have to pay the realtor half the rent by doing it yourself.

I found it really easy to use, but all of the boxes did not have specific instructions. I struggled with boxes 16-18. Through google, I discovered that I should leave them blank.
