Quote from @Muhammad Zaheer: Set Up a Simple Spreadsheet or Use Property Management SoftwareA spreadsheet (like Excel or Google Sheets) is straightforward for beginners and lets you customize categories for income and expenses.Alternatively, property management software (like Stessa, Buildium, or AppFolio) automates tracking and provides detailed reports, which can be helpful as your portfolio grows.2.

I think a good thing about this company is how they value each home using automated software which is very very very objective in my view.

I'm already using RentRedi to screen tenants, receive rent, deliver messages, but I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on either a software or virtual assistant type platform that helps them automate maintenance requests...

Being an engineer, I am wondering if there are areas[deal analysis,  underwriting,  acquisition, financing, or investment/funding)  where some automation (intelligent insight, reasoning, and decision support) can help you grow the business. 

It notifies me when a rent is due and it also emails automated reminders to my tenant.

And if you haven’t already you can start putting systems in place to help automate the process of management.

Is it time to bite the bullet and join the world of Automation?

My goal is to find one that will allow me to automate this process as much as possible.

Would it be helpful to you as a landlord have have not only the day to day automated but also have guidelines and quick access to local regulations (where there is constant change) in your assets markets to help you stay compliant and avoid potential lawsuits/fines?
