@Andy I chose Buildium when going through the process. I'd probably do it again.

I chose Buildium for the UI on both the TT & LL/Owner. Shortly after I slowly took on a fulltime postion at a large real estate firm and helped build out their residential PM service since mine was owner operator properties only. We used AppFolio since they used it with the commercial services they provided (which I took on too). I transitioned my business into AppFolio and am currently migrating out of QBO to only use AF for everything. I dropped Buildium about 6 months ago even though there were some features I liked better vs AF. It came down to ease of use because I spent more time in AF for my job.

There isn't - we've tried several times, but haven't pushed it into existence yet.

@Xiaowei Li they declined a couple of my listings in the last couple days. Said I needed a multi family agreement. I keep reaching out and no one is responding. I had an advertising agreement on file with them for the last 2 years. This was sudden and no previous communication on listings that have hit their site previously.

 Quote from @JC K.:

An old post, but a good question. RV storage is the best form of real estate investing that I’ve encountered. First, RV storage facilities are great income producers and can be operated very passively, often without an onsite manager. The question is can a profitable facility be purchased at the right price.

As with every good investment, it has become more and more difficult to find good ones. More recently I decided to develop one, instead.

 How is the development coming? I'd be interested to hear of any resources you could direct us to.

Thanks JC!

Shea

@Kerry Baird @JD Martin thank you both. I’ve gone back and forth weighing the risks. I’ve also considered it for a long-term. We don’t have a pool in our portfolio and it made me nervous. The pool is a year old.

Does anyone have any experience renting out a SFH with a swimming pool? Trying to decide whether to fill it in or advertise as an amenity. Thank you!
