I'd like to pick a good platform and keep everything under one roof - not need multiple tools. 

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.

If it is vacant, you have written notice they said they'd be gone, either let yourself in to double check they are gone (and if so change the locks) or post a notice saying you will be there tomorrow to enter the place.Nathan's message is perfect about telling them where to leave the keys and that you'll be by to do the move out inspecting in the morning....also about telling them what to do, not asking.When they are moving there is a lot to do and it is better they focus on moving than getting multiple messages and calls.

There are multiple offers immediately on anything that goes on the market in any of these areas (not just Lakewood).  

If you have multiple rentals, you may need to seek recovery in the aggregate and then decide your priority of restoration.This is a bad day, but statistically, you're good for another 100 years, no matter what "expert" pipes up with his uneducated opinion.

If not, do you know how you would do it as there are multiple ways, some of which are better for investors you don't already have a relationship with.
