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. 

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.

I have seen they have been pushing RentRedi a lot on the podcasts lately and I fell victim to their marketing tactics and checked them out.They seem to have fairly reasonable plans ($9/month for year plan) and offer a variety of features but I am still confused why someone would pay for property management software when there are so many free alternatives out there. 

BTW, been doing software development for ~30 years. 

It's a good place to learn more about servicing software and meet vendors, too.

I use Hospitable and a number of other softwares for automation and efficiency.

Here are some things to consider:Most investors don't need software until they have 5-10 rentals.

My profession is software / web design and I am interested in property management and using a property management type software.
