This is your one chance to change things.

For example, I have two STR high-income earners (making 140k & 150k) in Joshua Tree for sale with low expenses, where the sellers will stay on to manage it.Making sure you are keeping as much as possible from the tax man is a huge component and to do so you usually have to invest it.

HubSpot offers a free CRM, however if you want to add more modules (for Sales and Marketing), it can quickly get expensive.

You could also bring on a business partner that specializes in sales/marketing to lead that side of the business

There is a chance that investor is a securitized trust which will put your chances closer to zero of getting something done.

@Erin Colbert You would need to be living somewhere, and you would need to sign the deed restriction.You can live on the couch and rent out all the rooms in all the ADUs and JADUs you wanted - as long as you sign the Deed Restriction for owner occupancy, as well as that would go along with the sale, so you could not sell to investor just renting out the house

I think you'll just generally have less competition, so your chances of landing a property are higher, but I'm not seeing any bargains due to seasonality like there used to be.

If they have nowhere to go or don't know how to find a next place, and no relatives who are helping them, you will be the only person that goes the extra step to help (even with advice) which means you will get the sale at a better price and help someone.

My property manager I don't think has a chance to relax, but she does have systems built around her to free up the time when it comes to regular maintenance and rent collection. 

I understand it's a chance we take when we become landlords, but mercy.John
