I think that you are subject to what ever the local laws are.  I have learned that I do not turn over keys to a new lease until the tenant has shown the utilities transfer letter showing me that the billing info has been changed.  Good luck!

I currently have 5 properties that I self manage.   I chose Tennant Cloud for my needs.   I am not sure about communicating with property managers,  but I believe you could make it work.   You should take a look.   It has a lot to offer for the money.   Good luck!

I'm currently using Tenant Cloud as well,  but I'm not convinced for sure.   I like the service level of property zar and that may be where I go next.   I do like the website option and price point of TC though.   Follow up when you choose!  Thanks

Hello All!

I have been a rei daydreamer for several years now and I never really knew how to take that leap.  After listening to Brandon's 90 day challenge webinar one night I decided that I had to get going.  Fast forward 90 days later and I have closed on two properties and I have another one under contract to close before the end of the month.  I am strictly a buy, hold and manage investor as of now.  With that being said, I feel that with this being a side gig for me, because I still have a career in distribution and sales, I am a bit overwhelmed with the paper flow.  I have been trying a few different software programs that I like so far but I wanted to get some experienced input from you guys and gals.  I want accounting, maintenance tracking and anything else that helps me manage the flow of my business.  My goal was to have 5 properties at the end of year two, but I think that I will realistically hit that number by the end of this summer.  Please let me know what you think!!!  Currently reviewing: propertyzar, simplifyem and tenantcloud

Thanks in advance!

@Brandon Graves In NC you can go to any bank. It doesn't have to be the one your mortgage is with. I prefer to use a smaller local bank. Better terms that are negotiable and anything under 100k is kept in house with much less hassle.
