Good afternoon fellow investors,I just closed on my first rental property, which consists of a main house with 3 attached smaller units (efficiencies) - this is very normal in this area- , everything is on one meter.The previous owner used to live in the main house and therefore all utilities were included in the smaller units's rent payments.

So find the right contractor for the job and get it done quickly and efficiently.

Just looking to get some tips / efficient ways to speed up the process while also getting a solid tenant in the space. 

Im down to put the work in but want to know 2 things...what would be the most efficient and effective way to use my time to get houses under contracts and to close deals. 

I think a free market would sort this kind of thing in a very efficient manner. 

Your PM's process to find tenants may be geared toward time efficiency for them.

The reason I posted this question is to see if any specific areas could be improved by technology that can help you be better at your business. we don't live in an ideal world, and sometimes the existing tools, may be useful as we are used to using it, but they arent very optimal.The best way to look at it is to see if there are some problem areas that you think if addressed via technology will help you be more efficient and reduce your investment risks. 

Anywhere else I'd recommend a regular fence that'll be low cost and efficient

This helps reduce operational costs and increase efficiencies, hopefully giving the landlord back time to spend on other areas of the business.Market Trend Predictive Analytics: There are AI algorithms that can analyze large amounts of data in order to predict property values and future market trends.

There are some states like TX where the foreclosure process is so efficient, you could lose your equity position within 30-days of the borrower defaulting on the first.
