In April I am moving to Charleston for a new job (incidentally: know anybody looking for a great tenant in Charleston who wants to stay in one place for a 3 year term appointment?).

Because they lie to sellers who need help.When I show up at an off-market appointment and wholesalers are there on a cattle call, I tell the seller to ask everyone in the room for a proof of funds.

Things I've got down to minimal effort or fully automated: * Rent, security deposit, and fee collection* Basic accounting and tax packet creation* Listing vacancies* Lease signing* Applications, credit, and background checksThings I'm still dealing with directly ad-hoc or don't have a well defined process or solution in place for:* Requests and communication with tenants* Finding and coordinating service providers for maintenance and repair work* Scheduling showings and getting prospective tenants to make their appointments* Tenant turnover for move in and out* Keeping up with legal changes and lease template updates* Setting rent amounts* Lease enforcement - tenants are responsible for things like yardwork, routinely get letters from the city about weeds / tall grass, etc.Questions for the group:* What am I missing if I were to make out a checklist of an "automated property"?

Many variables to consider include the specific location of the home, the property manager you decide to choose, the history of the home and community, how well appointed the home is (what elements of the home will allow you to stand out in this market) and what months you decide to use for personal use.

I'm curious about your thoughts on using AI to fully automate maintenance requests, including renter requests, troubleshooting, and appointment scheduling, while providing personalized communication to residents.Would you consider trying such a solution?

Have a few appointments coming up with potential.

The committee is appointed by the court and isn't working for the bank.

That's why they are so adamant about buyer's agents showing up at the first appointment.

Can I ask why did you lower the price if you were getting appointments at the $5900 price using ziprent?

The main hold up was getting an appointment for the fire marshal walk through, which looks to be no longer required.
