So many buyers' agents scrambling to show, place offers, and lose out even with strong offers, just a total waste of time with no paycheck for all the many who didn't win the bid. 

The property is in a city/town that is appreciating quickly, is in an excellent school district, and is going through continuous development.

We value a long term win-win relationship, well- priced, well-maintained homes to ensure solid tenants as well as respect for our finances and investment, so the PM has to be of the same mindset and ability to perform.This has been by no means passive because things come up that have to be addressed, and a lot has to be organized, optimized and tracked.

So if they have a relationship with a broker they know brings good deals to the table, they will do their best to be as competitive as possible to win the deal.

But, excel is totally fine in the beginning (in addition to your PM software to capture transactions outside of the properties).We use QuickBooks Online exclusively for all of our REI Clients.

We say when you are in the REIT, "you are in it to win it" but their hold is much much shorter than yours would be at age 41.  

It's a win-win-win for the agent. 

Win-win of you ask me.

I'm a slow and steady wins the race investor that has little by little bought single family rentals (combo of long term, mid term, and short term).
