Switching online services is unfortunately not an option because the large majority of house seekers use zillow.

I see a lot of ads when reseaching online that make it sound like my scenario is possible, but I've been skeptical.

What’s the best way to overcome the objection.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

It was definitely an eye opener especially because the pictures online showed a completely different picture of the state of the units.

There are plenty of reasons to title your real estate in LLC's but those who approach entity formation with anonymity as the objective are mistaken and usually complicate the entity formation process unnecessarily. 2.

Local municipalities and states have GIS data online that reveals much of how a property will be developed, even streams can be estimated (nothing like a photo of running water tho).

Find some that look interesting, write them down, find the contact information using a tool online.

I would start to look to connect with people in your local area and see if there are meet ups to attend outside of learning here online.

To navigate this, consider implementing a standardized application and screening process that focuses on objective criteria, such as income, rental history, and credit checks.
