Most who use this strategy are ultimately lying on their loan apps.

You don't need to set up any other communication system (like google voice or another email address) to avoid sharing your personal contact information, you can do all of that within the app.

There are apps that do it all for you, like DealMachine.

Currently I use an app called "meet up" and for some time, a lot of their events in my area are all done online.

They do have a very awesome app called Deal Driven which is an extremely awesome marketing - organizing - information and skip tracing tool.

Instead, they load the apps on the TV and let the guests log in with their own credentials.

Yes, what others have said about GfH's customer service is right: it's challenging, but I'm grandfathered into pricing that makes it a tough sell to switch and with (still) 98% of their solution's capability available right in their mobile app it's still a compelling option for smaller portfolios.

I also want to start doing rent collection via software and apps like Baselane or apartments.com so l'm trying to figure out where to have two separate accounts or can I do everything under one account?

Those who use an app built for LTRs, like Buildium, usually are MTR focused in my experience.
