I created lists, searched virtual markets and was able to skip trace all of these for free...or so I thought.

If you want to go in person, just search in Stamford and you will find one.

Definitely online via property management software!

For example we invest in mortgage notes so we have an AI agent that only scans the documents we have and lists and if we asked a question like "who are our top rates attorneys in texas", it will give me the results vs. having to search files.

The FF rates in my zipcode are higher than I expected and their quality is less than what I'm bringing online! 

Eric, First, Good idea on searching for a realtor specializing in STRs.

Emphasize how this arrangement could work to their benefit, offering steady income, avoiding a traditional sale process, and giving them the freedom to move forward with their plans such as buying that sailboat and sailing around the world.If they ultimately decide they’re not interested in selling, you’re still in a great position to continue your search and buy your own property in the near future.

Online platforms that aggregate real estate data can help investors filter and analyze properties based on their specific criteria.

It's always best to do your own research, just like screening for a good renter.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

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.
