I came across an online course professing that you don’t need to visit or live near the properties you manage.

I run a fully integrated real estate firm out of Blacksburg, VA.

@Andy Rousch, QuickBooks Online does the trick!

We have a PM and communicate wiht them. when we did not have one long ago we did not have any app or anything. we had them pay online or mail a check and put $ in quickbooks and if there was an issue they would call or email us.

Also, consider connecting with local real estate meet-ups or online communities like this one!

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

@Nigel YarbroughTo find cash buyers and structure a lucrative deal, join local real estate investment groups, contact agents, search public records, attend property auctions, use online platforms, connect with wholesalers, and send direct mail campaigns.

This is because so much new multi family supply has come online.

As it is, there are more households forming than there are new construction starts coming online. 

Sometimes you'll get a different answer than just applying online 2.
