It is much more important to get to know what a PM's experience is, how many years they have been managing properties, are they also an investor, what types of owners they work with, how many total units they manage, what their largest property is, what class of properties do they manage, how do they handle tenant communication, maintenance requests, expenses, do manage commercial or residential, and what type of software they use.Just some advise from a seasoned investor and property manager, The First Question That You Shouldn't Ask is, How much do you charge?

No software, no AI, no Propstream, no Batchleads, no NOTHING can target motivated sellers.

Additionally, the management software provider (Yardi), required to have a management entity and the way the software set up, it's having all rents/expenses going through one account which is tied to the management and not each property's account...If I run each property separately, it'll create a mess logistically. 

Not sure if it'd be of interest to you, but a buddy and I built software that helps RE pros find and close more off-market properties through real-time, custom intent signals like probates, pre-foreclosures, code violations, and eviction notices.

Not sure if you want recommendations for other software, but I manage 10 listings and use Hostfully.

When you run a business however, you can write off a lot of materials, equipment, software, etc.. that can help reduce your tax bill.If there is a cheat code to this, I am all ears!! 

I'll pass...VRBO is a marketing platform not a pricing software.

The sales material doesn't even mention this and of course material choice will have a lot of influence. 

Gurus and the like can only have so much influence (thankfully)

One thing that has really saved me hours of time is using a property management software.
