An institutional investor with a history of working with syndications in these kinds of deals is going to have a much better handle on fair and realistic fees the syndicator should be collecting for those services versus a bunch of lps that may be working on the first syndication deal and frankly glosses right over those issues when they see 15% annual returns and a nice fat cash bonus on the planned exit.

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.
