1) 100% yes
2) We use our management software Appfolio but that doesn't help you I know. Tons of threads can be found in the search. Some use BP tool here. Some use apartments.com or zillow.com or one of 100's of other places. A quick google will turn up a bunch as well. Or just read the reply to one of your other threads
