I own an interior design and full home renovation business.  

Hello, I am a software developer and I have a data science friend who we want to team up on making software in the real estate niche.Tell me, as a real estate professional, please dream of your ideal software. what kind of software or software feature do you wish you had or wish that can be improved upon.

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.

Easy payment processing is the best feature.

“Maybe [Meta] should have had a policy against any sort of promotions like that,” says Jeff Smith, a former Facebook product designer who says he lost more than $50,000.

I like the pricing suggestion from @Jon Martin , as well as the budget design tips, I do think they help.3.

Looking at AirDNA results, my biggest concern is occupancy rates, most of the calendars I look at have large gaps in them, and when you spend close to $500/sq. ft at current prices (in STR-designated areas), your property needs to rent well above 80% or you charge crazy nightly rates.We've also seen very few property management companies that charge less than 25% there (and 25% is rare), and some STR neighborhoods require you to use their designated PM (Desert Colors only allows Red Rock, and they are at 40% commissions - ouch!).

So they would be very hard to find them or have them work for you. expecting residential real estate agents to be experts at income producing properties is not realistic and not advised.. if your looking for investment property you should only be dealing with investment brokers .. there are designations for them or resi agents with the investment designation.. 

Even if you ended up renting to another person with some of those features.

My fiancé is an interior designer and her friend from Las Vegas just bought an STR they hired her to furnish this summer.
