@Brett Quelch to add, that goes for any automated valuation method.  

For bills, I usually charge a flat fee to rent so its automated and one less thing I can think about, but you can manually split each month3.

Mainly, the systems implemented are fascinating (VA, automated offers, etc.)

Working smarter and automation will keep you sane while you grow.

I have used MLS automated searches for this, and you'll get all kinds of crap mixed in with the goodies that way.

It is automated through a website and deposits into my general services LLC (S-corp) which makes a small lease payment to me personally.If all goes as planned I should be the owner of 2 more self storage properties in the same town very soon. 

Several management companies are able to automate specific reports and will work with you on what you'd like to see and how often you'd like them to send this data, other companies may have an online portal designed for investors so you have all of that information at the tip of your fingers at all times.5.

If you don’t mind me asking, how often do you send out follow up cards, and are they hand written or do you have it all automated?

Automated appraisal.

Completely customize able, no limit on the number of contacts and the paid version has workflow automation.
