Any recommendations on software?

Before that in real estate software.

We explore how property management software, virtual reality tours, and AI can streamline operations, enhance property valuations, and attract a new generation of tenants and investors.

Cash, check, zelle or any recommended software?

I hope this is helpful if anyone is looking for new software to keep track of their income and expenses for their rentals!

I wouldn't recommend collecting rent through Zelle, you should use a property management software that allows this.

Let's just imagine a scenario where you only have one property, and you don't use any PMSs or apps like Turno, for example.Cleaning and maintenance: 4 hours per weekRestocking supplies: 1 hour per weekResponding to inquiries and bookings: 2 hours per weekHandling guest concerns during stays: 1 hour per weekCreating and updating listings: 1 hour per weekManaging pricing: 1 hour per weekFinances and taxes: 2 hours per monthInspections and minor improvements: 4 hours per monthTotal estimated time per week: 12 hours, more or lessTotal estimated time per month: 26 hours, more or lessIf you do use pieces of software to automate your work, it can be even less.

I'd recommend getting familiar with the software Propstream - has tons of great owner information that you can use to narrow down to sellers who may be more motivated rather than just calling any house off of the street.
