When I evaluate a software, I first build a list of the most time consuming aspects of my existing work process.

@Barry Ratliff, your question touches on two important aspects of tornado damage and HOA management.

Most real estate investment will have aspects of both cash flow or appreciation, but be over biased to one or the other. 

Once you learn this, you can tailor the offer to meet their needs.

.- Mobile’s low cost of living and doing business provides a desired aspect to renters that can’t be achieved elsewhere, which provides a steady influx of renters thereby decreasing vacancy rates.

I was hoping to receive some realistic feedback on the "flexibility" aspect of the work.

I'm not sure how accessible it is from that aspect though.

If you feel your CPA may not be fully up to date on certain aspects of your particular tax situation, especially with multi-state holdings, consulting another professional can offer fresh insights or alternative strategies.

I'm particularly interested in understanding:- Key renovation aspects that meet Section 8 standards- Common pitfalls to avoid in the process- Any specific features or improvements that are highly recommended to facilitate a smooth inspection and tenant satisfactionAny advice or a checklist you wish you had when you started would be super helpful.Thanks a lot! 

If my wife and I manage all aspects of our STR business (no property manager, self-managing all of our bookings and guests, accounting, rehabs, working on repairs and maintenance ourselves) as we’ve been doing the last six years, would we be considered real estate professionals?
