Any tenant that would live in a "grapes of wrath" environment, I wouldn't like.I have automated sprinklers at my MFU and a yard care service.Years gone by, we rented and the landlord complained I wasn't caring for his yard.

I know the ultimate answer is to call city of Atlanta, but their automated system seems to have no option to speak to a human....

These IoT devices (leak detectors, smart locks, HVAC systems, smart lights, thermostats, etc.) all can be integrated to trigger automation flows for property mangers that can make maintenance ticket management automated, improve property manager to resident communications, automate renovations and unit flips on resident move out, and even craft resident tailored experiences.

Anybody ever thought of using their REI money from Wholesaling or Flipping to buy automated Businesses instead of investment properties?

As you scale up, you'll find it's easier to stay organized with more automated systems. eRentpayment has auto reminders for the tenants, options to allow/not allow partial payments, notifications when the rent is paid and by whom, options to allow utility and security deposit payments, thank you notices, etc. 

I'm particularly curious about direct deposit, paypal and any other automated methods.Thanks!

The vendors also have systems, automation and professional communication.  

Please let me know if other investors have found a more automated way of running their wholesaling business.

Just curious what you are using in all aspects of your due diligence, research, design, etc? Just looking for advice/recommendations on good products that may be out there. I'm pretty tech savvy, love Excel spreadshee...

But I could be wrong.Can anyone share some knowledge on how much to build the parking lot, automated payment collection (I saw a credit card machine in the middle of parking lot with solar panel on top of the pole), and cost to undo the parking lot and build back the apartments?
