I suppose this is routine for East Coast lenders.

All you need is a single place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, and other things.

Hi BiggerPockets team,I am a rookie US real estate investor searching for financing options for my first deal.Personal ProfileCitizenship: IsraeliI do not have US citizenship or a long-term visa.Investment GoalsLong-term rentals in good B/B+ locationsLow-maintenance propertiesKansas City, MO/KS, or its suburbsI am familiar with what https://lendai.us is offering, but I am trying to find other alternatives.Thank you!

@Dustin Horner you should be contracting maintenance work and creating a preferred list of vendors as @Phillip Austin has recommended.The first person you hire to help you should be to handle what you LEAST like to do yourself or has the greatest time savings for you!

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Through proactive maintenance, efficient tenant placement, and careful financial management, I optimized rental income and ensured a steady cash flow.

Their dollar compensation is their free/reduced rent.If you have a lot of maintenance with landscaping or POHs then you hire them as an hourly employee.   

What property management software or tools would you recommend for tracking rent payments, leases, and maintenance requests?

Don't worry about minor complaints, you are doing a fine job.Just one question, ALL sites have a delay in data from MLS updates, and from court reported information, and so on, is that a function of a monthly update routine or can the information be updated a little more frequently? 

Your maintenance budget should be 10% * $24,000 = $2,400 Make the tenant happy!
