People who weren't able to find student tenants when the new supply came online had to rent to area residents, which may not have fit their model. 

That's why I suggested someone I know who has done rentals there before because another PM could not do it.Maybe just focus on the poster's question and add your take instead of going down a rabbit hole in an online forum to puff your chest out.

@Greg Strunak have you tried the anti-barking devices they sell online?

We use quickbooks online to track our time, payroll, and income and expense tracking. 

I've reached out to a couple I've found online but they were unprofessional and didn't inspire much confidence--and then they didn't have any deals.

Ally and Discover have pretty good online savings accounts.

Are there other ways to invest idle LLC cash in online savings or money market funds? 

Recently I heard an online property insurance company advertising on one of the BP podcasts, but I can't remember what the name of the company is.

One of your biggest challenges will be separating all the online fluff from reality.EXAMPLE: several S8 "gurus" have already been exposed as frauds, but unfortunately, they sucked in thousands of investors.You're an engineer, use your education & experience to start building up a logical approach to investing in rentals:)Start with this:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.
