As a smaller, self-managed landlord I think solutions that offer that kind of scheduling/logistics framework are solving for one of the most long-standing self-managed challenges we've had for years: how to scale and systematize operations when you're are landlord or PM out there hustling for your next deal. 

The biggest thing is vetting the operator as they ultimately drive the returns.

A broker shall not be responsible for supervising, nor shall the licensee be responsible for operating, within the scope of the brokerage or within the requirements of this chapter, activities that would be considered property management, including leasing, maintenance, and repair, so long as the real estate being managed is "individually owned" or "entity-owned" as defined below:(1) "individually owned" real estate is real property in which the licensee holds an ownership interest; and(2) "entity-owned" real estate is real property owned by a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or trust, within which entity the licensee holds an ownership interest as an owner, trustee, partner, or officer, or in another beneficiary capacity.

I see people without”mentors” who have NEVER had any success with the strategy they’re teaching or haven’t had any success in real estate at all, or have a history of failure often with multiple lawsuits and bankruptcy filings acting as “fronts” for marketing companies out of Las Vegas and Provo, Utah utilizing phone boiler room operations.  

One of the most important steps you can take as either a startup landlord or seasoned one is to use a platform specific to property management as it will elevate your operation and save you tons of time.The good news is that nearly every software designed for landlords includes these features.

My job is to thoroughly vet the operator, analyze the market and analyze the deal - then I send the wire and my job is done.
