Hi BP,

I began putting together a packet to present to private money investors. I have the content but I've spent some time trying to make it visually appealing, however that has been a failure. I was wondering if anyone had one to share? Figured I'd ask here before I outsource.

Thanks!

@Mike Lambert Hi Mike and thank you for the reply!

We have a family home there that is just vacant and sitting there so we want to put it to use, however it does need an extensive remodel. You mentioned you'd only do a renovation project if you were there to supervise. Could you go more into the reasoning? I have some background in renovation projects but never one remote so I'd like to know your experience in Mexico.

Hi BP,

I'm looking for a recommendation for a GC in Mexico City!

Or if anyone has done a renovation internationally, how did you find your contractor and stay on top of the project?

Thanks!

Hey BP,

Just purchased my first property that has no fence or barrier in the backyard, on one side. I was looking to hire a surveyor to come map out the property line so I can build a fence! Little did I know it would cost upwards of $5k+... I was wondering if anyone in the BP community has had luck working out a property line with a neighbor or if anyone else had some ideas on a way to handle this? Thanks!

 Hey Adam, I had the same question and stumbled on this post. How did you end up going about this? Did you add yourself as a contact?

 After alot of research I went with TenantCloud. Been using it about a year and love it. Managing 35 single family homes and a 5 unit commercial building with ease.

 Hey Adam,

Just following up! How's TenantCloud been for you? Looking into using it myself.

Hi Adri,

I'm currently in trial periods for both Avail and TenantCloud, and am curious which you decided is a better solution for systematizing your property management functions.  I echo most of what you say about both systems, and agree that while I like Avails interface and user functionality, TenantCloud seems to have more detail and has more scalability at a lower price.  

I have six units today, which fits Avail's model well, but have plans to acquire more properties and eventually make this a full time focus of mine.  This makes me think TenantCloud may be the better long-term choice for me between the two options.

Any additional thoughts after spending some additional time researching would be greatly appreciated.

 Hey Derek, just wanted to see which platform you ended up going with?

What are you using now?

For how many doors?

Managing your own investments and/or for others?

Not using anything right now! Literally just picked up my first multi fam property so trying to decide on one. Just 2 doors. 

Post: Any reviews of RentRedi?

Yes, I am looking for an online platform to begin self-managing too. About to close on a 10+unit apartment building and my wife and I would like to self-manage as much as possible, as I am local. Cozy has been acquired by apartments.com, and will not let me sign up for cozy, and the functions seem limited. Currently, I am looking at Hemlame for local, I tried to use them for an out-of-state investment property, but the cost with an agent would end up far greater than a full-service property manager.

The dream option would combine all accounting, bill pay, rent collection, provide eviction services, and maintenance coordination outside of normal hours. Some help with leasing would be great!

 Hi Paul, just curious on if you found a software that works well and you recommend !?

Just starting out and wanted to get some feedback on these property management softwares, and if anyone recommends one over the other! 

I've been leaning towards TenantCloud, but they all 'seem' to be more or less very similar through my research. Would love any feedback!
