That said, there are some tools available to you where you can bring a certain level of automation to that rental management process (ie. automatically syndicating a single listing to 10+ major listing sites, thorough tenant screening with full background checks, digital lease creation, automated online rent collection, and maintenance tracking).

As a heads up, there are a lot of platforms that can help to try and automate some of this process for you, if that's a route you'd like to take.

Hi James, this definitely sounds like an interesting situation; since I'm not as familiar with the estoppel process, I'll defer to others but I will say once you've decided to move forward with the 3 family complex, there are a lot of tools out there that can help you to manage your entire rental process (including customizable online leases), in addition to you being able to list the unit on 10+ major sites with a single listing; in addition you can request tenant screening applications, online rent collection, and automated maintenance tracking + messaging, just to keep the process seamless).

Once the entity is in place, your attorney will help with legal advice and future structuring, while the CPA will assist with tax strategy, compliance, and automating your accounting system.There are several pricing structures out there - flat fees, hourly, and value pricing.

Great question; I don't have any PM recommendations directly in Sarasota, but since it sounds like you're going to be buying a rental property and won't be able to move in for about 6 months or so, it might be a good idea to consider a landlord software that allows you to automate a large part of this process.
