Buy or inherit and hold all their lives while working the properties for income.I've seen teachers, firemen, software engineers and all sorts of people utilize both strategies successfully.

Any feedback on quality and the software?

I have been talking to customer service for 2 weeks now because the software will not link to my bank account. 

For self management I think this type of software is a must have! 

Also, there are a lot of great softwares out there that basically take care of what property managers do, so you could look into that instead.10% vacancy: In my market, 5% vacancy is plenty, this is something that you will need to figure out for your particular market.

If self-managing, there are plenty of softwares out there i.e.

Airbnb, Furnished Finder, BP (to learn), all the various PM software, etc. 

I have a call set up with our rep with VRBO as our system is integrated in our PM software so we have always had some different rules. 

Hey @Chris Schneider - besides what everyone else has already mentioned, I also recommend trying out a power-dialer software that will help automate your own cold calling strategies.
