Rentec looks like a holistic solution (similiar to buildium, etc.) maybe?  

Go for the Holistic atmosphere.Set aside an orchid garden. 

Holistically, it's not a great investment.Going back to the househack example, you won't see any cashflow now, but you'll likely be paying less per month than your current rent.

Is your question a curiosity question or are you at a financial wealth point you’re starting to look holistically?  

They do perform very well in our town, but I have never seriously considered running one via self-management, due to the realistic time commitment they demand and the fact that myself and my wife have full-time jobs (I own a small business and is also part of the reason we are aiming to grab another multi-family, in order to help us work towards the RE professional titles for tax purposes the next few years).We are looking at this holistically however as an investment, and are definitely not trying to speculate too much (ie - banking strictly on appreciation).Additional context:- Between our current duplex and this new triplex, myself and my wife plan to live in 1 of our now 5 units for the next few years.- If we move out and all 5 units are rented, in their current state with current mortgages, the properties would still cashflow over $1500/m as a portfolio whole.- We do have incomes that allow us to offset the negative cash flow and do have a reserve fund for both properties that cover unexpected maintenance, capex, and vacancies.Our goals in the next few years:- Refinance rate to the 4-5% range for Triplex (our lender allows us to recalibrate our interest rate based on base rates for an $800 fee).- This would drop PITI and allow for the property to break even/cash flow with monthly payments.- This would allow our portfolio to cashflow upwards of $2500-$3000/m if we were moved out of all units.- We would then use that to round into another property that we would then move into.- There is the potential as well to increase principal paydown through the excess profits from my company, allowing for a lower monthly payment.I guess I’m seeing what other investors’ strategies are for markets that don’t quite have cash flow yet but are trying to buy in, even if they don’t have cash flow at first.Is this even a strategy investors are implementing at the moment in order to get into properties that may be able to be acquired at a “discount”, or are we a very small minority of people who are pursuing a path like this?

Last year there were many applicants but most, even holistically, did not meet minimum requirements.

Trying to get to understand Georgia from a more holistic standpoint than I do now, so exploring different areas so I can be knowledgeable about the market as a whole

Is it hunting, regenerative agriculture/holistic management, or family vacations and experiences?

I was talking to a close friend of mine here in Austin last week and we are contemplating a monthly meetup group to educate folks on alternative asset classes, non-correlating, that provide a more holistic approach to building durable life long portfolios  So much of magazines, financial advisors talk only of stocks, bonds and annuities.  

I think a fee-only, holistic advisor that knows and incorporates RE could be beneficial.
