I am a huge fan of ownerreservations or OwnerRez.They have a lot of features, are reasonably priced and I have been very impressed with their customer service and tech support.I use it to manage all of my automated guest communications, electronically signed rental agreements and a lot more.

If you are going to go the PM route, I would always recommend local PM with good track record, already managing something similar to your property vs. one of the bigger providers (Evolve)You can absolutely do it on your own, just understand that you are taking on a second job which will require some work no matter how much automation you put in.  

Install water sensors in all leak prone areas of the apartment and set up the automated alert system.4.

I wasn't aware that in that area it is such a big issue.I guess in such a case you want an automated system as you mentioned so the tenant can't control it and it will protect the property on it's own.

Always nice to hear about the people side of the business with so much automation going on.

The platform also offers a variety of automation features, such as recurring transactions and bank feeds, which can save you time and effort in managing your books.Overall, I highly recommend QBO for real estate accounting.

Most HELOC lenders use an AVM -an automated digital tool that you have no control to dispute.

They call me every day from an automated number and I had to block it.

With improvements to most management software, it should be fairly easy for them to automate this.
