I've fixed pretty much everything unless it was over my skill set (replacing capacitor on A/C system, for instance; landlord told me when I moved in it was okay to repaint or whatever as long as it improved the house), my neighbors love me - they've told him so; I've resodded the yard twice (FL grass sucks with a dog), had the landscape crew redo the trees in front so they look good, replanted flower beds (perennials), power washed the house every year after wet season ended, ensured the pest control worked...The BUT part ...As a sole practioning consultant (pre-IPO weakness remediation, large financial systems implementations, global audit recommendations for SEC registrants, etc.) at times during the last 3 years things have been sink or sink lower credit wise and the ID theft didn't help (apparently, I bought a car in GA and own some property in TX).

There are a lot of landlord software companies out there that offer this feature, if you need any recommendations feel free to PM.

Or you can just use any online invoicing software if need be. 

You will learn how they review applications, what their leases look like, how to handle tenants, landlord tenant law, how they handle repairs, what software they use. 

The move-in date is 8/6, however they live out of town and won't be back for college until September (I told them I couldn't push the lease out a month).Given that they don't live in town, will it suffice to have them sign it online (currently using an online forms management software that makes online signatures quite easy)? 

I am about to take down a 19 unit that I will manage for a few months before moving it to property management, and as I have researched the software that are out there I can't help but think they are not worth the investment.

I would recommend utilizing one of the many free landlord software websites out there.

Meaning our foundation and business operation workflows instead of looking at deals (building our website, interviewing crowdfunding websites, demoing asset management software, Looking at CRM, Intervening pr and marketing firms, drafting our pitch deck...). 

Hello all as a newer agent I was wondering what tools, apps, software or even good old fashion habits you are using to keep up with the expenses of doing business as an Agent.

Initial cap rate looks good but I'd suggest making any offer subject to verification of rent (audit) and interior walk through - pretty standard.
