If you're a DIY landlord and haven't started the process yet after 4 months, you are way behind the curve already.

@Ricky Hernandez As a Realtor with extensive experience, I typically guide buyers through the process.

We require all nonemergency issues to be sent in writing: either via Tenant Portal or email.

I believe a web site would be able to consolidate the outside listings and some of the recruiting and marketing processes so I see that there would be some time savings for us, but how much and is it worth the costs?

Naturally your relinquished property must be sold before you can take title to the new property, but its a great way to make the process as smooth as possible.Even though the time frames can feel daunting I find that 95% of exchanges from my clients are successful.

TIA For organizing and saving receipts, there are several phone apps and software options that can help streamline the process.

Quote from @Renee Ward: In a quote for an umbrella policy, when I see it in writing it is labeled a personal umbrella policy with our primary home cars etc. 

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provide support for the property tax appeals process.

I would get rid of that immediately.Second, I would ensure your rules are clear, in writing, attached to the lease, and posted in locations where the occupants can't possibly miss them.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.
