Here are some things to consider:Most investors don't need software until they have 5-10 rentals.

i am confident i can manage the relatively small amount of requests, and have heard some good things about apps and software that are a "one stop shop" for landlords that allow payment, leases, and repair requests. i have one out of state rental property with a plethora of options for handymen and contractors around. i have been paying a property management company 8% plus all of their inflated costs of repairs and fees and with insurance going up it has really opened my eyes to my margins not as healthy as i would like.do you have a certain product you have used or use or would recommend?

All other things being equal, pre-constructions are mathematically (much) better deals because you pay (much) less, assuming again that you're not overpaying, as a discount on an overpriced property is no discount.

I charge a premium and as such, expect things to be a bit nicer and feel okay saying no discounts for people shopping for discounted stays as there is a reason I charge more than my competitors.

Also, if you have a long-term relationship with a local attorney, they may offer a discount for repeat business.

Depending on what the interest rates are and if you can get a discount on new vs. used it may make sense but most likely not.

They said I won't affect my assets by resetting the software etc.

Buy at a minimum 10% discount so you can sell if you hate it.
