I use a company called NestEgg and I would advise everyone give them a try. Its still self management as they are an AI technology. It's free to use for all their back end systems and organization. They also will take all your repair requests and alert you when you have one. No late night phone calls. They also have a team of verified repair companies that they have prenegotaited rates with. These repairs come with a 14 day happiness gauantee, meanining no getting ripped off by contractors.

Here's their link, they have a promo right now. https://nestegg.rent/

If you enter VISION2020 they will give you a free hour of service or repair free. I use them and love this PM alternative. PM's have all let me down. And despite comments by some PMs on here to me, you don't always get what you pay for. They will do everything but pay your bills, so as long as you can do that this is the best PM alternative  I've found.

Milwaukee, Chicago and Rockford already have full service and can get repairs done very quickly.

Last night, I had a friend approach me and wanted to help me turn my real estate insight and coaching into a tech product that would help new AND growing investors determine what type of investing they would be most successful at. After looking into the cost of the coding I have to ask, would new and growing real estate investors pay a small fee to use such a product and how much. I'd much rather upload my coaching into a product to share much more affordably than the hourly rate I charge. SO, does this appeal to anyone?

Everyone wants to get to a place where they are financially free but as you get a larger portfolio you are stuck losing so much income to property managers. But, if you used https://nestegg.rent/, which is an online and app rescource for property owners that uses AI technology and other technologies to provide superior service at little to no cost, you could save 2% there. They also have pre-negotiated prices with local service providers to ensure if you need work done that its at the right price and the service provider has passed their prorpietary background and quality check. Lastly, (my fav) they have a 14 day happiness gaurantee for all work compeleted. That's amazing to me given the amount of BS I and my friends have been through with contractors. You can do a full repair through this service. Right now they have a promo for a FREE hour off ANY service if you use the promo code 2020VISION multiple BP guests use them.

They do repairs and services, with each being displayed and tracked on your phone through the app so even if you arent there you can see what's been done and by whom.

I would look for an experienced investor who would take equity in your deals in exchange for their expertise.

Turnkeys would be great if you didnt have to use their company's property management.

@Nathan Gesner In my experience, AI technology is changing what is cheap and what you pay for.@Mary Aviles I can see where some contractors are less expensive, but the 14 day happiness gaurantee has saved my friend thousands. I would guess their price would go down as they grow and get more providers on payroll. I don't knond paying more for some repairs because I don't need to pay a PM. EVERY PM I've had experience with wasnt worth the 10% or even 7% they recieved. I'm happy with them and if nothing else, its great to be able to turn over managment in a pinch. 

AI tech is doing things for the price that PM's cant. Soon, they will be placing renters in units for less than one month's rent. I don't know a PM who does that!
