You just enter the tenants info and then we automate the entire process of setting up the correct bank account, sending receipts, paying interest, and closing the deposit at the end of the lease.

We are now investing in an advanced CRM that will interface with our PM software for even more customization and automation - including hiring a specific expert to implement it for us.It will be a painful learning curve - short-term pain, for long-term gain.Suggest you make your list as you learn on the fly about what various softwares offer.Check these out: Buildium, Doorloop, Appfolio and Rentvine.Take your time, because switching is another painful task:(

This automates the process and the tenant is required to show renters insurance in order to pay rent through their website. 

The software I'm working with is great. automation, lead gen, literally all-in-one easy to use. but it's been a hard couple of months, I'm just trying to see any cheaper alternatives.  

I would think you'll see automated systems like that, and you pay for what you get in regards to the time/devotion to your pursuit.

They mentioned it in the latest Vrbo webinar so I asked my Vrbo account manager and this is what she said:I put in a case to see if we can get Rate Automation placed in your MarketMaker.

Yes indeed mate.I probably would have fixed the rate also but "underwritten" the deal from a worst case rate scenario like I would do with SFH if financing.I'm not versed in large multifamily deals and would love to learn more.I think I could really do some "damage" in the field because I own and run a property management company and we run a tight ship that's very well optimized from an automation aspect and affiliate fee structure standpoint.So my bottom line for example buying a 50 or 100 unit would be much safer/higher due to in-house PM and "working" the margin.

I should lay this out right off the bat - I've only been with Evolve a few months and really have had no issues with them so far, I just want a little more control over my listing/communications and don't see much value in the automated messaging that they do.

I am unaware of anything you can do to automate that (there could be a software solution out there). 

The platform is packed with features like list and marketing automation, skip tracing, list stacking and team management.
