Communicating electronically saves me time and keeps a record of all of my correspondence with tenants and potential tenants.

Plan on cleaning common areas.4- Lock into electronic locks.

@Jordan LittleWe are planning to switch to self managing from 7 hours away.. we are thinking about having internet during turnover times with electronic keypads and possibly even a camera to monitor for security during showings (then removing for tenant move in).

Forgot to mention some people self manage, some use residential managers and collect the checks electronically and others use property managers. 

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I’ve found 1 person per room, quiet hours 11-7, no pets, no indoor smoking/vaping, color coded shelves and cabinet space, electronic locks and front door cameras really help.

I received multiple messages instructing me not to tell anyone it’s an Airbnb, restricted pool usage hours, had to pickup the key from a completely different location which made the check in more difficult (lock boxes apparently weren’t allowed on property- nor the ability to use electronic locks) and the experience overall wasn’t that great (even though the unit itself was nice).As an Airbnb owner myself I always struggle when I want to leave someone less than a 5 star review but my wife wants me to leave a 2 star.

@Andrew Powers I produce electronic music, primarily in the house genres.

I know that there are some electronic ones that you can see a record of who entered it, change the password, etc. on your phone.

What are people using for tenant screening, electronic lease signing, online rent payments and general property management tools?
