You do have to manually move people from Furnished Finder to your system.

With proper tenant screening and systems in place you can absolutely be a successful landlord.

I think the real magic comes in when you develop a system that allows you to create these cash flowing rentals from the vast number of vacant homes in the inner city. 

Some take on the business w/o having the proper systems in place to deal with low-demographic tenants & properties.We also see owners being part of the problem - expecting Class A fees, service & results from their Class C & D properties.

Total system abusers.

However, its downfall (and really what makes it so easy) is that it is a single-entry system.

In US tax law, the depreciable lifespan of an asset is defined by its MACRS classification which stands for “Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System.”Under MACRS, depreciable assets are assigned to different classes, with each class having a specific recovery period.

You can consider diversifying across 2-3 markets initially but since out-of-state investing requires robust teams and systems, I suggest to start in one market, build your systems, and expand.
