@Daniel Hansen, Here's some that a small-time rental portfolio manager has in mind for systems.Rent Collection: Automate through ACH or Direct Deposit, as opposed to drive to the homes and collect rent checksMaintenance: Have a handyman "guy" or a crew that you can text and schedule, as opposed to run around to fix toiletsNeighborhood Watch: Make friends with the neighbors and have them alert you when there's undesirable events etc. going around the propertyProperty Management: If you choose this, have several property managers that you constantly keeping tabs on to help with management.

I only take inbound calls on recorded line with automated disclosures.

From which vacation rental web sites worked the best for me, to the management systems I reviewed and am using to automate most aspects of the process, to my vacation rental web site to all the forms and documents I use, to pricing lessons learned, I would be happy to help!

Automation, you know?

But I wasn't aware of ways to automate bookkeeping in it, which makes it difficult to scale.

Problem with Zillow is they have this annoying "1-click reply" where people can just click on your ad without reading it and you get an automated message "Joe is interested in your apartment at 123 Main St."

You don't have to worry about generating codes, it's all automated.

Hey guys I would really love to learn more about your tenants paying rent through an automated system.

We have automated filters which catch a lot of stuff.

Automating those small tasks makes a huge difference to self-managing.
