## What we build

Each one is a working piece you can open and check when it's done.

### Work-order chaser

Open work orders get vendor reminders and a weekly status list.

### Owner summary

Rent, expenses and open work orders per owner from the Rentec Direct API.

### Renewal reminders

Leases coming up for renewal flagged 90 and 60 days out.
