I wouldn't say it's automated, but it's a user friendly CRM so far. 

My most trusted and often used contractor who lives in the area, and is practically a friend is the emergency contact.   

If I put myself in the shoes of the outside partner/investor friend, I would be very concerned because: 1) unclear and/or potentially conflicting business plan, 2) even with clarity in the BRRRR business plan, unclear in the viability of pulling it off with these market conditions, 3) the chances of dispute seems very high, especially if you're going to live in. 4 years ago, I went through a  similar thought process when purchasing an investing property with mainly my family money, while considering an outside investor to rehab for higher STR ROI... 

I bought this property with a private interest free loan from a friend. the person i bought it from need cash fast so i offered them a low cash offer and they accepted.I had enough money saved up to rehab the house with my savings.

Hi, my friend!

Hello Friends,I own a 1982-built ground-level condo (one unit above, one below).

I am not yet familiar with the management fees for an STR yet as we self manage, however Cleveland itself is currently STR friendly and just requires them to be registered if you have stays over 90 days and then you register with the city and pay $35.

Hey John,I work with several different property managers, which I refer to for my clients (I'm an investor friendly agent over here).

Setbacks holdbacks include a crazy complicated parenting situation (husbands ex) who aggressively pursues our money.

Besides a declining population and tenant-friendly laws, you have to deal with the fact that neighborhoods can be as small as a city block in many cases.
