They collect rent and you have to chase them for it, and I think they have a ring of deadbeat tenants that go from one house to the other, and pay a security deposit and nothing more

Sounds like a ring road with no entry.If you resolved this or if anyone knows how I can improve on this please let me know. 

Ring or Blink cameras will be your best friend.

They pay for and change filters, bulbs, batteries.They haul off the trash right after the guests leave so the cleaners don't have to.They handle maintenance and basic repairs.They have replaced things like door knows and toilet wax rings.

The microscopic distance of the attic vent, insulation spacing, the smoke detectors not being in sync when 1 rings etc. 

DealMaker Richmond and Richmond RING are two good ones.  

We do our management passively, and don't sit at an office and wait for the phone to ring. 

I like Champaign-Urbana a bit more, but the thoughts above still ring true (and property taxes are a real headwind to appreciation).

Share your thoughts, experiences, or even strategies in the comments section below; then let's get this conversation rolling and make a lot of cash registers ring too!

- Motion trigger activation, and I’d prefer if it would record longer than 30 seconds when triggered - The ability to download and store videos - Real time notification on my phone when camera is triggered - similar to my Ring doorbell I use at my home- Cameras record both video and AUDIO- My ability to talk to people through the cameras would be a bonus - Night vision for outside cameras a bonus- Ability to remotely swivel horizontally - and vertically?
