Hoping one of you seasoned landlords can offer some advice.my wife and I owned a pm company in San Diego that we sold prior to our move to Iowa.Initially our plan was to start another pm company here where would manage our 6 rental Props and offer 3rd party management.We have adjusted that plan and are no longer thinking about starting a new pm firm.Initially we had set everything up with PMW (website) and their sister company Rentvine for our pm software.However, since we will now just be self managing our own properties, rentvine is a little too robust and expensive.We are trying to determine what consumer grade software to use that will still allow us to:Syndicate adsPlays nice with tenant turner Offers easy tenant payment optionsOffers customizable applicationsOffers lease templates that can be e signedOffers a tenant portal for maintenance requestsIf any landlords have suggestions let us know.Appreciate any help.

After a robust annualized third quarter (GDP) growth rate of 4.9%, GDP expanded at an annualized rate of 3.3% in the fourth quarter, and the economy grew by 2.5% - exceeding 2022’s 1.9% growth rate, so I personally don't see a recession coming into play as the economy continues to show signs of strength.2023 also showed accelerating economic momentum instead of what many anticipated would be a slow growth period.

@Brian Green, are you only seeking to hold digital leases, or are you wanting a more robust software solution?  

Established and regulated: Many markets have been vacation destination pre airbnb, and have robust regulations as a result.

The fundamentals in Charlotte and Raleigh strong, meaning job growth continues to be robust, people continue to move here, and the cost of living is relatively low. 

It seems that not paying your rent can get things moving pretty quickly, but understand that there is also a robust defense system here in the county.  

There is a robust market then.  

Oil based heaters tend to be more robust and can be fixed in expensively.If you can't get a 203(K) loan, run the numbers with hard money until you can refinance in 6 months or so.

The employment sector, while not as robust as it once was, has been creating jobs at a steady pace.

AvivaIQ works through AirBnB messaging only.I also looked into http://guesty.com which is much more than a message automation tool and has some robust property management features it seems but costs between 3%-5% of your booking.
