Focus on one or two target markets, get familiar with the numbers, and use tools like BP calculators to analyze potential properties.Whether you start now or after graduation depends on your bandwidth, just have the right systems and support in place first.

Hi ALL,Can anyone recommend a easy to use property management tool that we can use, so far, we have 4 rentals and growing, We will like to have better control of the information and have a easy system for tenants to pay rent.As always, thank you for your input!!

Plus if you have good systems in place, you should be spending much less time on each booking than what your cleaner spends cleaning it. 

The solar system adds no value to my property for rental purposes, and I may even be ripping up the roof & replacing it in the new year.Beyond sending a nasty letter through my attorney via certified mail, demanding the company come pick up their equipment, am I required to take any further action or fulfill any obligations regarding these contracts?

Legal and ethical implications: Agents engaging in such practices may face:Legal consequencesLicensing penaltiesEthical violationsThese actions ultimately harm consumers by restricting options and potentially inflating costs.The new system, allowing buyers and their agents to negotiate commissions directly, promotes transparency and fair competition.

And particularly in large multifamily, there are systemic risks that do not make the risk worth it for most deals, in my eyes. 

In addition, I am considering changing my furnaces/boilers to have plug-in cords instead of being hard wired so that if there is a power outage in winter that I could power that heating system with a portable power station.

All things being equal on the asset side, the operation and systems put in place will make or break the performance of the investment but at this point that has almost nothing to do with real estate. 

Systems.

The main use of the extra revenue is capital improvements; new roof, furnace, monitored fire alarm system, etc.
