Licensed contractors needed in Essex County, N.J.  Message me for details.  Amelia

@Matt Ess, A very common strategy for investors wanting to defer large gains on their primary residences is to do exactly what you're contemplating - move out and convert it to an investment property for a year or two. 

Is there a software, like ESS, that creates you a website, allows potential tenants to access an online application for a new rental, existing tenants to log in and submit maintenance request, automated invoicing/billing and receipt of rental payments, etc.

Currently implementing ESS, Davinci locks, raising market rates, working on SEO and digital presence.

We’re on our third card processor with them because the first one kept putting the wrong name on people’s credit statements, which rightfully caused a lot of chargebacks, then outsourced their call center, and we could never get anyone to fix the chargeback problem (ESS nonchalantly said “oh yeah we’ve been having a lot of complaints about them.”

Also, with you as the host(ess), you can now meet and get to know all prospective tenants.

An admin assistant would be limited to host/ess duties basically.

We plan to self manage with our ESS software, organize outdoor parking, and increase rents.
