I don’t have any affiliation with them, just thought I’d share as I think it is pretty much as cheap as you can find for paid softwares with good functionality.Payments take several days to process, but tenants can automate them which is nice.

Yes, I feel that directly owned single-family rentals are really a business and not a passive investment.There are a lot of things that can be done to automate it like taking rent over the Internet, using Zillow and other apps to bring in new potential renters, etcBut others require manual labor.

I went to the company website and signed up as a potential investor.Got an automated welcome email from Sunrise partner, Brian Spear, which asked me to read the fund's PPM and schedule a phone call with him.

They also don't use automated locks and manually change the guest code every few weeks7)They have terrible response times when I reach out to them.There's a lot more... these are just a few things that are top of mind.

Their bank will mail a check monthly but the preference is to be fully automated and timely (not waiting for the mail and to make the deposit).

I do know that the pricing varies based on the unit count as well as what level you sign up for; but overall, it's super user-friendly for tenants, PM's & owners.Plus they're always updating their software and adding new automation features to make everything so simple as well as well as great customer support. 

While automation and advanced technologies help with this goal, another strategy that is often overlooked is cost segregation.

You go to the internet.Well, guess what So does everyone else including actually MOTIVATED sellers.The ONLY way to reliably get in touch with motivated sellers is for you to make it extremely easy for them to find you.I call this "stalking the watering hole".SEO is obviously the best, but  PPC and Facebook ads (a service I do not provide... meaning I am not just saying this BECAUSE I offer SEO) are the next best thing each with advantages and disadvantages.Now, you are better off investing in an ever working lead generation system so you can automate this to generate the highest quality leads for free, than investing in a list, no matter the list and every single time you send mailers you have to 1) Hope they see the mailer2) Hope they open the mailer3) Hope that when and IF they open the mailer they are in the mood to read it4) Hope that when they 1. find the mailer, 2. and hopefully open the mailer, and 3. hopefully they are in the mood to read your mailer, and 4. they are coincidently in some sort of motivation state to act on the mailer, they will give YOU a call when they have received 400 other mailers from other peopleYou do realize that 50% of 50% is 25%.

I'm pretty new to real estate investing and have been using a manual texting app that just recently starting blocking me, so I'm looking for something more automated that knows how to circumvent / comply with the latest laws, without having to worry about downtime potential.
