There are some great options out there which can help you by breaking out those fees, and also offers automated maintenance tracking, and fast rent collection (via ACH or debit/credit card).

Another great way to automate.

In my 'perfect world' mind, I would be able to open that workbook and begin evaluating any given market because; a) First and foremost, it would be very user friendly b) It would be heavily automated through the use of formulas and/or macros that would provide easy to follow and understand prompts and solutions.c) Would be designed such that it would accept user entered data that, either as you went long or by the time you reached the end, you would receive flags of some sort that would provide a status of that market as a potential investment market (such as 'You're golden here!'

(I also read that it's important to message as many outlets as possible, email, text, voicemail, don't be annoying, be friendly)Due today:"This is a automated friendly reminder that the rent is due today, please leave the check on the counter as soon as possible to avoid late fees."

This can be automated either from your bank account by setting up reoccurring payments or then by going into the Mortgage companies website and automating the monthly payment there.  

There are also automated alerts you can set up that will email you listings based on keywords you set up.  

Everything in my portfolio is now fully amortized and automated.

I am a huge proponent of investing time in front-end setup in order to automate and simplify daily operations.Several institutions like Capital One 360 and one of my local CUs actually allow you to build checking/savings accounts on the fly, which is the way I'm leaning...Any advice?

Automating and streamlining a process (online tools can support) + a leasing agent to show during an open house may help generate a higher cash flow.Hope that helps!

I tried calling any numbers I saw on the sites but just got automated menu's that lead me nowhere.Suggestions?
