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.

We gave a deadline of that Friday afternoon- never heard anything until we finally found out the lady who apparently is in charge of this or the listing, or however it works, was apparently out of the office because when the listing agent forwarded our offer, he got an automated response.Apparently the list agent felt the bank was seriously considering it because it hadn't been outright rejected.

I do this because one day I will hand my screening off to someone less careful or some form of automation and I do not want a lawsuit.
