Hey mate,Thick skin is needed on this forum and in business in general 🤷‍♂️I just posted something similar on another thread and the best advice I can give is spending enough time finding the right people on the ground before looking at the prospect of a market or a deal.Especially when doing BRRR out of state which is a very tough gig IMO.You can find the best market, with the best growth potential, find the best deal with the best cashflow but if your realtor isn't genuine, your property manager is incompetent and your contractor is a cheat.You will loose money.Also, underestimate your income and overestimate your expenses on every deal and business opportunity.If you think it won't happen to you, I can tell you right now that it unfortunately will...I've completed hundreds of flips and rarely come in at budget from a rehab standpoint.So keep that in mind.Appraisers are a joke and easily manipulated.They follow weird data and many want to cap you intentionally (No idea why...) on the ARV.They play it safe and can see how much you paid and what you spent on rehab so they will cap the value and come in under fair value on many appraisals.I stopped dealing with selling to investors looking to finance many moons ago as it wasn't efficient from a business perspective and I'm not in the business of using "in-house" lenders and manipulating appraisals like many others do. 

Hello:Could someone please recommend rental management portals that you have used or use to securely store your tenants sensitive documents like passport?

@James Daley  You'll need some 'skin in the game' on a deal like this. 

If you get a no on any of these questions, you are probably not dealing with a true turn key... and they will not have enough skin in the game to do a good job for you.

Yes, I found this article on how connectedinvestors is HYPER sensitive when it comes to blocking and banning members, for no apparent reason: http://www.onmyminddaily.com/c...

Yes that makes sense, I have heard that the silicon valley RE market is very sensitive to the big tech companies.

We always do sensitivity analysis.  90% occupancy planned.  

This means your funds and sensitive financial information may not have the same level of safeguarding.2.
