Several companies offer these meters in combination with a software platform for monitoring and billing.

Hi all,I can use software to conduct 95% of all property / tenant / cleaning  tasks, except... for showing the property to interested tenants.I don't know that this would be an issue, as I'll be doing MTRs and most folks may be out of town anyway.But does anyone here have ideas or suggestions for how I should think about this?

In terms of Costs associated with an LLC-Roughly like $100 to file with the secretary of state in Ohio if you wanted to do it yourself-Cost for your accountant to prep a tax return at the end of the year for that LLC (depends on your accountant)-Cost of a higher interest rate with a DSCR loan -Maybe more advanced, but if you have more rentals the cost of additional bookkeeping software like having to pay for additional quick books accounts.

I have never heard of that.Maybe go in and manually block direct bookings so their software doesn't pick up on where this is coming from?

In my opinion, TXTing takes out more from you then actually bringing in - It often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.

My take: Gather intel on the area (neighborhoods, tenant demand, property management), have a game plan for your numbers (cash flow, maintenance reserves), and adapt as you go.

Hi all,I'm a software engineer at a fintech company making decent salary.
