Hey team,Currently have my first unit, got our lease signed, and I'm getting into the swing of things.I feel I always knew the broad strokes, but now that I'm in the thick of things it's definetly taken more than I expected since I'm having to learn as I go.Looking at costs for admin tools (docs, signing, screening) seems like it'd cost the same for a property management tool (buildium, yardi) versus doing it manual (rhawa, docusign)When did you decide to move away from managing manually?

I will have a pro review my mortgage as I'm looking to put this property into an LLC, but I'm looking for a broad stroke answer first.

She was older and I wanted to make it work for her so that she would not be rushed to find a new place and be displaced after living at this property for over 20 years.Last night, I got a call from my realtor that she unfortunately passed away after having a stroke and being transported to the hospital.  

We've continued to enjoy our cashflow and appreciation, and as soon as the market turns we'll stroke a check out of our line for our next property. 

Prepare to stroke large checks for little repairs. 

When the market turns, we'll simply stroke a check from our line to get the next property.

@Mason Hickman hit it all in three strokes.

That's a very broad strokes overview, but for any specific property you'll want to do your diligence by working with your agent and verifying rents on Rentometer, gosection8, or anecdotal current data from listings on Zillow/Marketplace.
