I've had some blue collar ones all the way up to software engineers and everything in between. 

It's still important for each individual to test the software platforms to see which one they prefer.

The very basics would be getting your furniture and shopping list together, keyless entry like Schlage (with backup lockbox with physical key very close as well), looking into insurance, local taxes for STRs, and moreAlot of ways to save time and make it easier to self manage with a property management software like Hospitable and data research like AirDNA.

In all my years of Property Management in one of the most tenant friendly Cities in the World, I bet there will be a lot of interested people, regardless if they are actually planning on buying in a tenant friendly City.My management style would be considered highly unusual as I approach these issues so that it becomes a win-win situation and take into account the human element of the tenant.There is potential for me to add more to that Podcast to include how the Portfolio did over the 28 years growth period (1998 to 2025) with real numbers.There will be things like making the Portfolio safer as I age by paying off the Mortgages and increasing cash flow, etc.I'm also a Cloud Software developer (Salesforce specifically) and will be employing a lot of A.I. in 2025.The RE Portfolio is cash flowing very well and I can afford to integrate experimental A.I. to test it out.Things like A.I.

Lawn cutting/snow removal you can get quotes for, plan for some vacancy, property management software if you will use any.Hope this helps.

Having been involved in various industries and businesses, I’m well aware of the pitfalls, and not falling for the “get rich quick” schemes like buying Section 8 housing using gimmicky software.

I just listened to Jerry Norton's Craigslist Flipper software webinar. 

However, the people who use rules of thumb don't have sophisticated software that can analyze deeply thousands of potential deals every day!
