The overall direction is maybe the more important story happening.

If you put enough down you can make it break even, but it just comes down to how much capital you have and how creative you want to get to make a deal work.

Ideally, I’d learn by doing and would appreciate the opportunity to work with a mentor to help me get started.Any advice or direction is greatly appreciated!

If you would like to be added to my list, please contact me directly or post your information.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.
