I rented out the house I lived in (in nice suburb with low crime and great schools) - this Class A property is doing well 5 years rented so far, but the property tax increases are reducing my cash flow.  

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.

The one we have isn't as fancy and it cost over $600 10 years ago.What is really nice about this one is the heating jet.

For example, sometimes as a GC a person you know will ask you to do a job, you say to yourself, this will be quick and I'll get a little capital for the next deal.

But on a large job where you;re just getting a remodel permit anyway, it's a no-brainer.

I really think they do a great job with product development, too, and are always releasing new features.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Generally speaking condo are cheaper to get into, but you have higher costs due to condo fees and if the condo board does a bad job running the place, you will have even more costs.
