Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

@Nathan Gesner Conducting a quick test.

Always have your business cards handy and be ready to follow up on leads promptly.Work with an investor-friendly agentRather than conduct a search independently, work with an investor-friendly agent (or multiple real estate agents) who can keep their eyes open for off-market properties.

Make sure to conduct a title search to confirm the seller has clear ownership of the property.

Conduct regular inspections?

To evaluate syndicators, conduct thorough due diligence and check financials.

if you pick a random property in Akron (i was just there, randomly) that you haven't seen, that's listed on Zillow, and turn it over to people you haven't met to manage, it is nearly guaranteed that you will lose money.if you're serious about this, i would recommend that you go there in person, meet agents in person, build a network in person, and conduct your property search in person.and if you can't go there in person - i wouldn't give up on Oregon. i know, i know, you're going to tell me it's 'too expensive.' and so yes, it's difficult. 

@Oli HarpsTo manage your Oakland 4-plex effectively, stay informed about the local market, build local connections, conduct thorough tenant screening, consider value-add opportunities, decide whether to self-manage or hire a property management company, network with local investors, plan for growth through scaling your portfolio, explore financing options, and stay informed about the local market through online communities and resources.

Most recent update “Dear Investors,I just returned today from a being in x most of the week, conducting an on-site assessment of our properties and reviewing the status of tenants and ongoing operations.
