Their system is great and will definitely be good to use as you scale up.

@Ryan A ShumakerAppfolio just came out with an investor management system which we are starting to use and it’s simplistic to use and makes the investor process easy as well.

Thank you.You are probably asking how to hack the system, but all the advice to hack a top ranking won't work over time unless you are a very strong operator already.

My city seems to bid the land banks but I’m planning on reaching out to get educated on how the system works. 

Mobile is ranked 7th in the U.S. for least stressful city, and 25th as the best city in the U.S. for Millennials to live.Employment Information -- The top providing employers of Mobile are The University of South Alabama, Infirmary Health Systems, and Austal, who combined provide over 14,000 jobs.- The Mobile Aeroplex brings in another big economic industry which is Aviation.

They don’t have a multiple bid system.

@Sean KirkThere are turnkey REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are great - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

In my case, I don't have enough units to need all the bells and whistles of a more robust system.

It is a good Ole boy system and they take care of their own before serving you.

So, you are not improving the effectiveness of the system.
