I’ve made a conscious effort in automating and digitizing more of my rental management tasks and can share some of the tools I've been exploring that might be helpful to others.I use Baselane a lot, it is a platform that's really geared towards landlords and real estate investors.

Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy).

Look into markets with steady growth and affordable prices, like Indianapolis, Kansas City, or Chattanooga.You can build your team remotely by contacting property managers, realtors, and contractors online, though meeting in person can help strengthen relationships.Focus on your strategy (buy-and-hold, BRRRR) and use platforms like BiggerPockets to learn and connect with others.

I really wanted to continue using them, but for growth it just wasn't the best choice for us. 

Growth prospects still look strong to me in DFW area.

Find a company that wants to take the journey with you and understands your passion and growth plans.

This will create some more movement, has been holding up quite a bit of growth.

It’s fantastic to see you and your wife diving into real estate investing, especially in the Detroit market.Detroit has some unique opportunities for rentals, and there’s a lot of potential for growth.

Adam told me the area is super good and they are seeing very positive growth in the area.
