If you can choose to outsource the tasks that you don't enjoy and then focus on what you love, You will enjoy Life more..........Happy InvestingDerek Dombeck

Very first driving for dollars adventure, and my partner and I came out with a duplex portfolio we split.

But make sure that the realtor you're thinking of is really up to the task and can walk the walk.Otherwise, a reduced commission in exchange for less hassle isn't a bad trade off.

They do have automatic late fees as well as some other automated tasks.

Allows you to use the resources it provides to help the company market, or perform tasks better.Don't apply to any HOA property managers.

If you are going to do a bad job or can earn more in your own time than the amount you need to pay in labor to complete the task than I completely agree.
