Hi @Austin JonesI'm a certified ProAdvisor for both QuickBooks Online (QBO) and Xero.

It offers online rent collection, expense tracking, tenant screening, and more.Zillow Rental Manager: Another free option where you can collect rent, screen tenants, and even list your property.Background Checks and Lease Agreements:Avail.co: This platform not only allows you to collect rent but also provides comprehensive tenant screening, including credit, criminal, and eviction checks.

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.

I'm browsing online listings and want to understand how to dissect these deals before diving in.

The industry is changing and new services are coming online to help owners and property managers to streamline this process.  

My brother's rental is a little over 1,000s sqft heated living area, so the ADU would only be permitted for 500 sqft in Winston-Salem, according to information I found online .One advantage of an ADU I believe would be the ability to hook up to the primary residence's utilities. 

Are online webinars as good as in person meeting? 

Check reviews of them online and ask for references if they are willing to let you speak to their previous clients!

You can list your property at the local Housing Authority and I think some have an online database of rentals, but we've never used that. 

For as long as I can snag deals like this - https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1193019-says-...And I know that you guys have similar numbers in Detroit, I couldn't care less about the "keyboard cowboy" data.Virtual $ex with Jenna (Old Playstation game and sorry ladies) is different to real life.Same as the online stats, demographics and data...They don't/can't show the real life micro economic data of tertiary cities.Well, they can but they aren't accurate just like Zillow isn't in my market.Micro is very different to MacroJust my 2 Aussie centsPeace, I'm out 🤠
