Starting small and scaling up is a tried-and-true path, and this community is filled with people who’ve walked that road and are eager to share their experiences.Feel free to ask questions, share your wins (and challenges), and tap into the collective knowledge here.

If there is no HOA because it has been family run, it will be dicey, but generally if it is a private road, all those on the road are collectively responsible for maintenance and improvements.

For that tenant, only used it for rent collection. 

Quote from @Jesse Turner: What, if anything, are people using for collecting guest feedback?

With a full time job even 15 units gets tough between collecting rent keeping repairs up, preventative maintenance, looking for new deals, managing refinances, etc. 

@Taylor Cave  You make it sound like you can place 8 students in an 8 bedroom house and collect $500$-650/bedroom.

.- Inform your tenants about the proper use of the dumpster.Each tenant should be responsible for taking out their own trash on the designated collection days, but having a common dumpster is usually more convenient and cost-effective.Remember, clear communication with your tenants is key.

For collections in Southern California, try Sutton Law Center or California Judgment Enforcement.

don't have to have all the functions just wanted to know what will be recommended. thank you  1. rent collections; 2. late fee handling; 3. auto eviction; 4. 1099 / report; 5. repair work order/ maintenance requests; 6. listing and screenings etc

If either of them were to stay involved, it could cost you money and you would collect less.Send it to collections yourself.
