@Jana Cain Thx for your feedback.I'm trying to put together as much information that I can to establish the best automated system possible and certainly providing access to the bank statements is a must. 

So, I'm not sure to have someone who isn't familiar with rehabbing figure it out.You're not just looking at condition, but you also have to figure out what materials to use for the specific project, whether there are hidden defects, if there are issues that can't be ascertained from pictures (like the smell of mold), etc.This isn't something that can be easily automated. 

How do you automate tenant paying a sewer Bill for example?  

I've also purchased and began using his M5 Automated Marketing Machine (which is amazing). 

There is an appraisal but usually its not the full comprehensive appraisal, at-times it's an Automated valuation that pulls historical data, neighborhood etc, at-times it's a drive by appraisal based upon photos of the property, have a chat with them and decide from there...

It seems as if the forces that were already impacting commercial retail such as automation and online retail, has only been expedited by Covid-19, and many mom and pop restaurants, retail businesses without deep pockets will not survive simply because the crisis for their businesses will not simply end with the lifting of shelter in place, but will only end when the fear of this virus dissipates which may be many months to a year from now when we finally have approved and effective treatments along with a proven vaccine.

You will need prior consent.Voice broadcasting (automated recording played to a live person) requires prior consent.You CAN however leave automated voicemail without prior consent. 

@Ryan Rominger hey there Im currently looking into the Indy area and would appreciate any info.. also would it be possible to set up the automated search for properties on and off the market.. im planning a trip to indy hopefully in the next few weeks so that would be helpful. thanks let me know.

Property management platform Appfoliio, which is very good, will automate this for you and automatically calculate and bill the tenants, and they can pay electronically.  

As far as my business goals, I would love to learn to automate most of what is needed and be less involved by having a team who trusts each other doing what they do best.Hopefully I can connect and network with other investors, mentors, lenders, etc in the area as you never know who will come along and help build a successful working relationship/partnership with.
