I used to have a paper version but this has helped a lot since I can change content pretty quickly6- The remaining is communication with the guest which is vital, I have it automated through lodgix but that is a vacation rental management system that I tapped into through VRBO and Airbnb.

My goal is trying to attain financial freedom in a low maintenance business where much of it can be completely automated freeing up my time to do other things I may enjoy more.

They have decided to not renew our contract and returning my property 12/18/23.I would like to remain as hands off as possible and hire another property management team to come in and screen tenants, market the property, handle applications & maintenance.If you have any suggestions on PM companies located in the Fairfield County area or perhaps softwares that could help in automating this process for me id truly appreciate it.Thank you!

After tech-ing it up to automate the process, it took 6 months (pre-pandemic) to break even on all costs/mortgage payments aside from the initial down payment. 18 months in, it's t's already up $90k.

They were willing to automate emailing monthly reports to each unique owner at no extra cost. 

“It’s gotten substantially more sophisticated, with automated systems seen in some of the larger buildings with a robotics component to facilitate shipping.”In particular, growth in the e-commerce sector means you’re likely to see companies building out their infrastructure through a network of warehouses that store and catalog products that will soon end up on the front porches of consumers.

A lot of landlords will offer $10/m discount for 6 months to get somebody enrolled just because the automated nature of ACH saves them so much time the $60 cost is nothing.  

I am completely uninvolved at this point except for rent collection which I plan on switching to an automated system for that is well.

@Tom KellyYou need to be more specific about what problem you are trying to solve that hasn't been done millions of times by banks.I agree with @Jon Holdman that the instrument you should be using is the Note and Deed of Trust or a Mortgage.  

I was a little skeptical since the market I'm currently investing in is a smaller town (Sherman, TX) and has less comps and robust sales data for most automated appraisals to work accurately.
