In a dream world - the comprehensive solution does all this: *task management and sequencing where you can drop a property into a sequence ie day 1 call, day 2 mailer (have it automatically mail out something like a postcard) day 3 etc etc etc*project management outside of the outreach sequences for what's next in the process ie schedule inspection, send the contract, etc etc*ability to have multiple users drive around and if you see a property you can tag an address and add it into a marketing sequence, and also track the streets you've hit so you're not wasting time driving by the same houses more than once *dialer (ability to parallel dial numerous numbers simultaneously to make cold calling more efficient - Ive used tools like orum and kixie in other industries, and when you receive a pickup, the other calls are dropped) *skip tracing/data provider *website landing page for converting online visitors to leads*electronic signature/docusign*secondary branded landing site on different URL for blasts for deal disposition to your buyer listWhat am I missing? 

If you're comfortable taking on more effort for bigger rewards, BRRRR might be the way to go.From a tax perspective, BRRRR may be better because you can potentially benefit from accelerated depreciation on the property, which can help reduce your taxable income and give you a bigger tax advantage compared to a turnkey property.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Are you focusing on online lead gen like Facebook ads, Zillow, or platforms like BiggerPockets?

Are there any safeguards to reduce your risk from the property seller?

Finding a random one online is going to be more hassle than it is worth.

Converting the short-term rental to a long-term one can help reduce the hassles of frequent turnover and management while offering more predictable cash flow.

All else being equal, lower mortgage rates reduce the cost of ownership and, thereby, allow more people to afford to buy.

Some policies have vacancy clauses, and if the property is empty for, say, 60 or 90 days, your coverage may be reduced and you may not have the coverage you think you have. 

I encourage you to take a look at out pages, reviews and feedback from other owners posted online.
