Realtors offer the broadest market through the MLS and networked sites, potentially reaching millions.

Hey @Zach Rumfield, well you are in the right forum as all of us here operate some kind of STR on both VRBO and AirBNB along with other sites!

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I ask because I've interviewed a number of general contractors over the years for my various real estate projects and am shocked at how the vast majority showed up to the job site to give an estimate in a vehicle that did not display their contractor license number or business name.Aside from this one issue, they'd often have great portfolios, long list of successful permits I could verify they pulled, great references, no complaints on their license, and had been licensed for over a decade.

There are a lot of local real estate investor meetups in Northern NJ that you can find in the events forum here and on other sites.

Seems like a lot of new posters to the site who have recommendations for sites here.

Anyway, as far as camera systems, I would think a simple Blink system and wifi would work for what you want to do, with something like the Schlage encode for a locking system.

I'd hate for you to spend thousands on a simple paperwork drill but I also dont want to you to get in over your head.Good luck 

Does anyone know of a site or common place to meet investors and rehabbers to make a deal with.

Welcome to the site.
