A renovation company that has already completed over 350 renovations for us will quickly do whatever touchups/repairs are necessary so we can get the property back on the market.Use electronics to control access and reduce turnover time.

My four adult children are out of the house; so, below are goals for our 11 year old and me.Read 15 minutes per day and log it.Set limit on daily electronic use.Clean up after himself (toys, push chair in, dishes, clean bedroom, clean car).He plays sports and has a few tough baseball goals that he works with me on (inside/out swing, pitching mechanics, 3B fielding). 

I advertise on Furnished Finder, Zillow etc. 

You left out information that maybe relevant such as taxes/insurance per year, maintenance cost anticipated per year... plus other expenses depending on rental such as management fee(if you aren't manager), advertising cost to acquire renters, etc....

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

Effort is still required to communicate with the Craigslist advertisers, but having software to lift the deals out of Craigslist would surely be worth $1,000. 

I recommend an electronic payment method.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has 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.

The best ones are the ones who dont heavily advertise in my experience
