They focus on finding long-term tenants, and it's a win-win as less turnover is less expense for us and less work for them. 

Slow and steady still wins the race.Instead of investing in real estate, I'd suggest starting a business on the side in real estate.

It's an excellent addition to David Green's book "Long Distant REI".

Additionally, if there are any resources or tips you'd recommend for a beginner like me to excel in the REI bookkeeping realm, I would be grateful for them.Thanks in advance for your guidance!

@Mitch Horwart @Excellence Carlos Did any of you end up trying their services? 

G'Day everyone,The team (@Dominique Osborn, @Sean Mahoney) and myself have an opportunity to on-board 189 units.This would be a very nice "chunk" of new business but to be honest, I'm inclined to pass.I have always believed in doing business on your terms and for terms not to be dictated by someone else.Especially when you are looking to hire us/me to do the work for you.Also, business done right needs to be a win/win for all involved and this doesn't seem like a win for us.I do however understand the caution and reluctancy to "let go of the reigns" per se as many landlords get screwed by property managers.But at the end of the day, you have to "let go" and let someone else do it or just do it all yourself.I'd love your advice on the suggested terms given to us below:1) In AppFolio they want admin level access to their account.2) They want a standardized list for maintenance items so they know in advance what repairs would cost.3) They want a copy of all invoices from contractors to us so they can verify we are not marking up more than promised.4) They want to be able to talk to our contractors before work is done (each time) so they can talk contractors down in price themselves.5) They mentioned that they pay around $300 for full paint in a 2-bedroom unit.... we do not have a contractor that will touch a full paint on a 2 bedroom for $3006) They want tiered PM Fees based on occupancy.... for example (their example): at 90% they would pay 8% PM fees, at 70% occupancy they would pay 2% PM Fees, and at 50% occupancy we would part ways.The deal breaker in my opinion is points 4, 5 and 6.With the lack of oversight/control on maintenance we have little control over the occupancy and it kills our process and efficiency.So in a way, we are destined to fail from day 1.Also, if someone does want so much control why not just self manage.The unit count justifies hiring 1-2 full time people to run it.Otherwise, let us do our job.

Big win right?

Or does the process specifically require that you close with the cash that you prove you have when you win the bid?

(https://learn.lofty.ai/en/articles/7025226-sell-equity-in-yo...)I understand I can also sell and do a 1031 - I've successfully done that once, and failed a second time (could not win an offer and ran out of time - had to pay a ton of capital gains tax). 

However, if the net negative cash flow is less that the rent you are paying, it's still a win.
