Hey @Chris Schmidt-Loffler - stop spamming and selling.

I'm out West at the moment, but will probably be returning to Tokyo before too much longer.At the risk of being contrarian, after picking up a couple of investment properties in Japan (one Tokyo, one outskirts), I shifted to a strategy of only investing in the US. 

Going one by one is too slow.

No matter the number of units, there is one roof, one property tax bill, one sewer line, one gardener bill, etc. 3.

That isn't a bad way to keep folks happy and make sure they want to leave a 5 star review.Yeah, the toilet is one thing but the tub, whew.

No guaranteed way to stop a determined, experienced thief:(Only deterrents that push them to easier jobs.The roof may be a good idea - until they figure out the just need a ladder to get up there and a rope to lower it down. 

The area has certain advantages like shelter from regulation risk (pretty much as low as anywhere in the country if you buy in the approved STR tourist zones) and long term security (people aren't going to stop going to Orlando anytime soon). 

A lot of people spend their time doing this, but it's not a good use of time because it can not teach you anything relevant without seeing each one in person.

I know this is an old thread.I'd like to get a more recent opinion of these apps.I think the DFD options is very interesting.What we want to do is endorse one of these for our Real Estate Club in Greenville, SC and have a contest for our members to see who can find the most deals with the software.Maybe try and get a rep from the company we choose to come and speak at one of our in person meeting and also negotiate a longer trial window if possible for our members.
