Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

Hi BP people! I have bought and sold a few houses but first time doing a 1031 since saving on cap gains makes sense. I have approx $500k+ to play with and looking at San Diego, LA, Scottsdale, and New York. Most optio...

I am sorry to hear your original move didn't go according to plan, but it sounds like you got some great investment properties out of it.We would still be visiting California frequently (me for work, and my wife for family), so I don't think we'd want to move back for sure, especially in the area we live in.

The local Real Estate Investors Association (REIA) puts on several meetings a month, and covers a variety of topics. 

Good luck to all  See this far too frequently as buyers have FOMO and think they are going to get this great cash flow.

STRs can yield higher income but require more management, including frequent cleaning and guest communication.

Ok I will check those websites out, Thank you.There's a variety of ways to get a deal in front of you (I'm mostly a flipper), but basically if it looks promising, I run custom comps queries and check the current & past $/sf of renovated/distressed product in that city or zipcode.Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

I have one company we talk with frequently who has gone back and forth over 10x with SEC on comments for an offering that was qualified years ago.

I used to live in SLO and frequent SB.

People frequently try to specialize in Section 8 in these areas.
