I have been in the application integration arena for as long as their has been applications to do so.  what I would like to add is that NO system is inclusive of ALL features.  Thus the term, Integration or better yet the real term is "FEDERATED SYSTEM".  This means you have a series of applications, workflows, processes (both manual and automated) and people that facilitate the operations of your business.  A good business consultant will take the time to understand your operations from the 10,000 foot view and frankly most all businesses no matter the size looks the same from that level.  The consultant will do a series of discovery sessions to flush out the requirements needed for your federated system.  Then, based on their knowledge of the different pieces, they will map out the details of your end to end, better known as "future mode of operation".  If you are a one person shop, then all operations points to you until you start to gain success and become overwhelmed.  Then, its time to bring in a resource or resources, be it a virtual assistant, a system like Podio or something of the such to try and take the helm.  This is a good move only if you are thinking of the future even in that respect.  Create a scale-able system so that it grows with the demand of your operations.  It will go along way, as Im sure you want your business to do as well!!!

All these systems are useless unless you build a workflow that you understand and that fits into your business model.  i suggest taking it step by step and incorporate these items as you gain small successes going forward.  That way you can scale up as needed.  I work with a contractor that was going crazy managing 17 rehabs at the same time.  Now his goal is to rehab 120 properties in 2018!  30 a quarter.  BTW I was born in Rochester but now live in Florida! 

I was always one to admire my coaches because they ran drills over and over repetitively until we learned the entire playbook. We started off with a few and worked them until it was second nature. Then they added on more bit by bit until the system was running like a well oiled machine.

That is my approach for my clients in business process automation. First, I have a discovery session to understand the current mode of operation that you are using (CMO).
I then design a playbook around the methods that I use in my toolset to bring you into the culture change that you might experience in the “new way” of running your business on auto pilot. I then introduce your future mode of operation (FMO) play by play. As you incorporate and learn the processes and as I train your staff or virtual assistants on how to run these “plays”, your business gets going and you experience small successes one step at a time.

Eventually, your business automation processes are fully implemented and you are ready for growth at your pace! As you bring on more resources and clients, leads or customers your system is scalable and grows with you.

I could give you some advise on how to get started. I created the relationships with people that were successful without taking too much of their time. BP is a good forum. Lots will steer you to videos but a coach will be good. Stay away from the gurus. They want thousands.

There are lots of people on here, me one of them that would be more than happy to advise you on how to get started. Most have started following the processes that have worked for others before them.

InvestorFuse is a company that uses Podio as a platform to create a CRM/task management system for Real Estate investors.  The primary service is a canned system that can be tailored as needed.  I am also an independent design consultant for InvestorFuse on their customized solutions.  Hope this helps.

Hello,  For the out of town investors, I have created an accountability system for property managers to report on the condition and upkeep of your rental properties. The PM can put this form on their smartphone and submit it at the frequency you need it. When they submit it, you get an emailed report of the condition of your property.   I have seen a surge in owners saying the PM's are not doing their jobs and if you rely on them to keep your values up, you need assurance.  Please take a look, test and comment on my form.   I love your opinions.
