I came across an online course professing that you don’t need to visit or live near the properties you manage.

It's a game and they have probably won it in the past.  

Commercial loans should start softening, but not enough to be a game changer. 

They've been a game-changer for me, and I'm curious to hear if anyone else has tried them or has other favorites.The first one is Reimagine Home.

We have a PM and communicate wiht them. when we did not have one long ago we did not have any app or anything. we had them pay online or mail a check and put $ in quickbooks and if there was an issue they would call or email us.

Hello, my name is Derek and I am hoping to learn more about real estate investing and hopefully get into the game someday.

@Nigel YarbroughTo find cash buyers and structure a lucrative deal, join local real estate investment groups, contact agents, search public records, attend property auctions, use online platforms, connect with wholesalers, and send direct mail campaigns.

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.

Real Estate is still a get rich slow game no matter what the internet tells you.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.
