I've heard some people rely heavily on the MLS, while others use wholesalers, pocket listings, etc.

REI Game Changers is a beginner program that relies on cheap spray and pray list marketing.

Cities near forests, lakes, parks, etc. that have a history of short term rentals will always rely on that.

You need to be able to rely on things, weaker or ealerdly members of society get scammed enough. 

Yes, I probably have some protection, but rely mostly on insurance.NOTE: we manage a lot of Class C properties and unfortunately get sued 2-3 times annually.

We are the sole GP on all these deals so are not just money-raisers relying on an operating partner.Finding and operating a property is pretty much the same whether you are a syndicator or buy it yourself. 

As a Stessa Pro member, I rely heavily on its features to manage my properties, and while sending over the tax package reports works well (since the Income Statement and Balance Sheet are standard for most accountants), my bigger challenge has been finding a real estate-savvy CPA who doesn’t charge more than my annual cash flow for their services!

I'm renting a 3 bdrm-1 and 1/2 bath rowhome to a tenant family of four adults who are habitually late with their rent payment each month.

Do not rely on it for legal advice.

However, I cannot find info on whether it syncs with Appfolio, which is a downside for me since my properties rely on that.Overall, if anyone has found a better real estate accounting solution that handles property management well, I’d love to hear about it.
