Also it would mean I get a different tenant pool for example travel medical professionals, displaced people due to insurance claims, digital nomads, etc and I really want to expand my knowledge outside of long term tenants and challenge myself to have a diverse portfolio of real estate! 

Personally I’d go to Lowe’s and buy a set of machines that only has dials for controls, no electric, digital panel.

You can even create a balance sheet if you want to get crazy.I definitely recommend scanning all of your documents associated with the rental using a free app like Genius Scan and get those into some sort of digital document management platform such as Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

Would you see yourself using a tool like this, or is it just another shiny object that’ll collect digital dust?

I take the issue of sponsors acting as fiduciary to their investors very seriously, regardless if they are legally required to or not, and plan to create a platform that calls out those who don't, and celebrates those who do.

TurboTenant does digital signatures for leases and other documents, condition report templates, automated and one-time ACH transfers, chats with tenants (so there is a record... just in case), and lots of other great stuff.

Myself I had my title company pull every NOD in the MSA which was 4 counties 2.5 mil people. create a spread sheet and they would up date it daily as new NOD's came in.they would give me address  lien position  tax information and lien judgment search.. having our title plants digitized and off shore allows for this data to be gotten in a few clicks.. then when I got my short list I would give them that list about 48 hours before the sale and they would do a date down for me on those..

The investor also had no backup plan, and it was clear they hadn’t considered the potential risk if this failed - they just said "we would foreclose" - which if they did would (at best) provide single digit return...It gets even better, if they did get the borrower to follow their exit strategy, they would make around 13%...Here’s the problem: The gurus often make note investing sound like it’s just a game of persuasion, telling you it’s "easy" to get borrowers to agree to anything if you push the right buttons.
