Remember that part of your success comes from people knowing they can trust you, that you do what you say and that you operate in a way that will not attract unnecessary legal or regulatory action.Too much reading between the lines leads people to think that there is a snake in the grass so they will not trust you.Find a good agent that can run automated reports.

Now here’s the deal: Technical analysis is easily automated and therefore incredibly popular among stock market, commodity, forex, and real estate investors.

We use an automated system for this and if the tech does not respond within the designated time frame, it calls the next person on the list until it gets to me, the property manager ... and no emergency call should ever get to me (we have a maintenance staff of 6 FT techs).I do agree with you and would be upset if it took 7 hours for me to get wind of that situation as well.

All said and done, the tenant buyers weren't real, the only one he lined up never paid, he vanished, and the houses sat at the PEAK of the market in 2005, and the value dropped... and dropped... and eventually, I lost all my money and couldn't afford the $17K per month in mortgage payments these 5 deals were costing me.My cell phone was ringing literally every 48 seconds with another automated collections call from the mortgage company (who I had 10 loans with!).

I've been managing them myself and have set up some good systems to really automate most of it.

The central dashboard is a nice feature along with the revenue management and automated messaging (when it works) the integration with platforms like pricelabs and beyond pricing isn’t there yet, as well as task delegation for staff such as area managers and cleaners.
