These are features like online renter payments, tenant portal (for payments and work orders), help keeping track of work orders, tax reporting features, and accounting functionality.

That said, you have to be comfortable with your risk tolerance - are you going to keep yourself up at night? 

Overall, sounds like there is more inventory coming on line in 2025 in some major markets so wondering what some of those leading indicators of a "bottom" might be.

You do not want to be taking 2AM calls at night about a clogged toilet from across the US.

Maybe it's in my head but sometimes there are two LVP advertised online with the same thickness, but in real life one feels obviously thinner/thicker.

You add your coverage yourself online and can see all your properties listed on one screen to manage them.

For that reason (& other reasons like no one was meeting even online), I started Real Estate Rocks. 

My appointment is with the same lawyer (Jarom Bergeson) .. and I sent him a list as well of options that I found online to get his opinion on the best structure.

One of my clients just built a new home in Los Altos hills really cool bout 4500 sq ft modern and he is in it over  6 mil just build cost.. young guy late 30s has some sort of on line something. 

in a vast interview process with many steps before allowing someone to move in. a new roomie is an everyone-decision, not a landlord-only decision; if you're expecting people to co-exist in a space together (for longer than just a few months), you have to make sure they all have some things in common, or at minimum have the right expectations in terms of cleanliness and routine habits.someone working the night shift and someone else having a 5am rise-time, or someone who works from home in a call-center job is not going to jive well for example. and someone who doesnt handle conflict well is not going to jive with someone who is brutally honest and up front about issues. happy to go into more deets on how we do things if it will help. this can certainly be lucrative in terms of cash flow, but there are huge mud puddles i have stepped in over the years which i have had to learn to navigate.
