Whenever I speak to a group of students interested in real estate, I always stress the importance of networking and simply asking people to coffee.

Thank you all for stressing your point.

I'm biased and can provide reasons and data to show that using an agent will protect you, get you more money, less stress and so on.The reality is you can do it yourself, but tenants generally don't cooperate with showings and that causes lots of problems for buyer to access the unit to show, inspections, appraisals etc.

I started to change my mindset, and figure out ways to work efficiently and reduce work stress. 

hey tim, i should have been more clear. i will be doing all of the property management per se, just looking for an organizational tool via an app or software that will consolidate the communication for my duties. i only have one out of state property and just dont think the amount paid is worth the relatively low stress of this specific quality property and tenant pool. i will look into stessa and buildium- thank you for the recs!

Always check for a reset button before calling an electrician.

You'll potentially increase your stress, fail to replace your lost income, and possibly lose part or all of your investment property equity.Focus on replacing your job and stabilizing your finances.

I've been burned by this once before, but it's just less stress on me with this informal policy.

NOTE:  there may be some tax on interest or principal on the payments--seek professional advice.Also, stress there will be no inspections or other contingencies--sell the 'peace of mind' side of the equation.You have known each other for 12 years and you established you are a great payer. 

On your buttons, I suggest using Amazon's orange color, #FF9900, as it subconsciously signals to people that they're getting a good deal.Use schemaThen, make sure your site is technically optimized.
