For me i always prefer to join forums that are niche based to learn more and more things about a particular industry, but here in real estate i found that sometimes you have limitations which are in a particular geographical location and you cannot use such big portals if there is no discussions going on but on the other hand learning is something that you can do everywhere regardless of your geographical location.

They also have a new internet portal where you can track the progress.

They do NOT have any web portals to be able to monitor or service your loan.

To collect paystubs, driver's licenses, or any other documentation from tenants, you might consider using property management software like AppFolio or Buildium, which have secure portals for these purposes.When it comes to setting boundaries for tenant calls, you might consider using a dedicated business phone line that has a voicemail set up for non-office hours.

It gave us a nice points bonus for travel use through the Chase travel portal.
