I am a current customer.

The maintenance request feature is awesome and does allow pictures (not sure about videos).

The customer service is awesome though and when they explain why I am having issues, it usually makes sense, but these types of things just aren’t an issue with Stessa.

Quote from @John Federic: I ran some numbers for you using the Cashflow Analyzer Pro from AssetAFC.com (see the attached picture).From my perspective, this deal still looks acceptable, even though it won’t cash flow in the first year, assuming a 5% vacancy and 5% for repairs.

You can set specific criteria to spot underpriced homes, distressed properties, or anything that’s flown under the radar.I know several investors have had more luck with using water shut off lists, so while it's more work, that might be an even better approach.One thing to note is that Privy compiles real-time MLS data and integrates public records, so you’re not just getting a snapshot of the listing status but a full picture, including owner history, property condition, and any price drops over time.That said, if your focus is primarily on expired listings, I'd also suggest checking out RedX—they’re known for their niche in expireds and FSBOs.

I like itemed out a budget and then sent to a contractor with pictures and he was generous enough to come back to me and tell me where I may be off.

I believe that paints the picture of who you are competing against and who you are dealing with. 

It is a process where every month you tweak things here and there to find out what really draws customers to your property and for them to have a great guest experience. 

There's been probably a dozen times the customers have just done something that needed to be attended to in a timely fashion-- not life or death-- but definitely problem some. 

Remember, I'm not a CPA, so consult with a tax professional to get the full picture based on your situation.You’ve got the right mindset, and with time and strategy, you can replace your current income and hit your goals.
