Finally, always get the credentials to access the mortgage account online and change the email notifications to your address.

I don't see how they could, since things happen... but again, granted there is no guarantee, these companies are claiming such high averages and they have such huge portfolios and good reputations, so it makes me wonder.

I have looked around online, but haven't had any luck yet, i have local real estate agent there, but they are not expertised on those distressed properties.  

I mainly want a site that offers advertising the property, online payment options, maintenance requests & at least a basic accounting aspect.Thank you in advance!

Look at other rentals in the area and see not only how they are advertising or promoting online but also the inside and outside of the rental so you can create a similar environment to try to replicate the same results.

It truly shows your commitment to provide your current and future clients a better experience.I know that online reviews can take the best of one's head space and it can take a toll on the business. 

If I remember right they ended up having a hearing at the board of supervisors and I watched it online. 

is there a way for me to create an online STR guestbook for free? 

From what I’ve seen, firms like Exeter 1031 Exchange or Asset Preservation, Inc. have solid reputations for guiding investors through the process efficiently.

If you know of any online forums or organizations where I can learn from others and expand my network and knowledge on wholesaling or getting my first deal, I’d really appreciate any recommendations Thanks in advance for your help!
