Some yahoos like one of the dozen or so Yardi iterations, but I don't get those folks so I'll pretend it doesn't exist.There is a whole different class of PMSs like RentReady, TenantCloud, Hemlane, etc that CAN be used to do some or all the things you'd prefer, they just won't function AS well for as long as the pro-grade PMSs listed above.So, if this is a side hustle that you'll dabble in for a while and then hop onto the next shiny object that walks by, I'd go with the cheapest or best UX/UI you can find in the second group.IF this is a business that you intend to keep getting better at and pursue with excellence then I'd cut right to the pro-grade PMS and learn to use it masterfully.

We are looking to be agile and nimble in renovating the units.

This has probably been iterated already, but definitely consider joining your local MAREIA, there are tons of free or affordable events with local investors and soon-to-be investors. https://www.mareia.comHappy to connect with you as well, I'm a Baltimore resident and local investor. 

But you also re-iterated the central theam to my post; jobs jobs jobs unerpin profitable real estate investing. 

You can Google it.  @Eric

In my process I build MLS listings into a database table of properties for sale, and another table of properties for rent, and update rental fields on the for sale side in iterations:1. 

I'll re-iterate the importance of clarifying your criteria.

Great information I truly appreciate it. @Eric

@Eric CarrAppreciate it Eric!

@Jackie GarciaI would re-iterate what @Gary Montgomery mentioned.
