@Lane KawaokaWould you not consider it as a potential starting platform?

Or, if it's really necessary for the sake of argument, I'll bring my best source @ Pemco to the platform to confirm this template.

At Real Estate Skills, we’ve witnessed and participated in successful deals closed without ever accessing the official MLS, utilizing platforms such as Zillow and Redfin.We strive to ensure that our interactions uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency.

I used there platform/CRM to get the place under contract but went about it my own way to find the buyer, therefore the speed of the closing was not representative of the companies ability. 

A lot of opportunities to buy aged C-class homes at 8, 9, 10 caps.Small investor expense ratios are 40%.Large operator expense ratios are 37/38 %.Large platforms/institution expense ratios are 33/34%Big benefit of blanket insurance policies is to drive costs down.A lot of BFR is looking for a bridge product for 2 years to hope rates get back down in the 5% range.Cannot use HPA on BFR communities you plan on selling based on cash flow.5-18% rental premium being achieved based on new construction communities compared to new construction scatter sites.For real time comps go to biggest operators BFR, small multifamily.More confidence about the cost of construction having stabilized.Some products which will not be good for retail buyers will also not be good for rentals.

I'm one of them, but I do require them for direct bookings off OTA platforms.

Avoid escrowing payments and opt for the longer term, even if you don't think you'll need it.Seasoning Period: Many lenders have a seasoning period of 3 months on the platform, while others might require 6 months.

I had one accountant give a quote that was quite high for a small number of properties, and Quickbooks eliminated their desktop platform.  

.- Evaluate the best tech platforms to subscribe to. i.e. skiptracing, RE data sites, CRMs, etc.- Create Standard Operating Procedures (w/video) for every repetitive task on the admin, sales, and marketing sides of the business.

As a PM with 1 LTR in my portfolio I have used a few different property management software platforms and thus far my favorite is Rent Redi.
