If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

However multifamily/hotels/mall/office asset class are extremely volative and too much rate-sensitive.It's no longer even about particular syndicator, basically some of your asset class can't survive interest rate.For average Joe and Mary, best advice is just to simply put money into SPY/SGOV or direct SF home ownership.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Just like our BANKERS validate and question our deal analysis, you need to be the BANKER.Majority of the Syndication failures going on right now are due to either Short-term financing used on longer term projects- in a period of extreme interest rate hikes, material Inflation, or Covid related supply chain or personnel issues.You as the BANKER, know that all of the above should have been covered by the Syndicator and by you the BANKER.
