This apartment required a cosmetic renovation that is going to run me around $27,000 to redo.

Also what is the Housing Maintenance Code.

Understand the local permitting requirements, keep eyes on your property to avoid squatters, and make sure you have a great vacant insurance policy while you're renovating.

What property management software or tools would you recommend for tracking rent payments, leases, and maintenance requests?
