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.

In the pitch I include just a couple of my projects from the last year as a reference to my experience. 

@Keetaek Hong I have a lot of clients who are facing the same challenges but they understand the long game and that it's imperative to build a portfolio, With that lowered interest rate I mentioned you are looking at 30% down and including PM fees will typically have you around break even or barely positively cash flowing.

If your client is planning to use a loan to purchase the portfolio, they should be aware that many lenders include prepayment penalties or restrictions when properties in a portfolio are sold off individually.
