I am curious to learn from others as well  :) I looked at GHL for my CRM but felt like it was full of features I'd probably never use and the cost was considerably more than what I ended up using: Monday.com.

If you haven't already, read "The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs" by J.

These platforms typically have billing policies where you pay a per unit fee per month to the software and you get regular updates and support each month.There are a number of low-cost platforms available that are able to offer you a lower price by passing along some of the costs to your tenants (payment processing fees, applications, tenant screening, etc).

As soon as the year membership is up, I'm leaving.

These up sales have nothing to do with the booking platform Correct?

The main issue is your exit is capped so if your costs go up, your profit goes down.

The guy who runs it lays it out like this..1-5 rentals you are still doing okay, have more stuff come up between all rentals the closer you get to 5 or at 5.

It costs the same amount to replace a roof or furnace whether the house is worth $300k or $30k (assuming a similar size).

Recognize that if your insurance goes up you need to pay $x more into escrow.4.

I can however relatively quickly add up to a 500 Sqft garage.
