There are usually a vocal minority that has the time and energy to be on the board and can push anti-investor NIMBY policies. 

When you are first starting out, I would recommend getting a quote for every individual task.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

The first hurdle was finding a warrantable condo, which proved to be a daunting task despite exploring over 20 different units.

I always kind of chuckle when I hear folks say well we will just take it back like this is some simple task..

Looking for advice/strategy from like-minded, anti-risk, I want to maximize cash flow type folks.

Self managing 50 units is not an easy task, it’s not at all impossible but it will likely be a full time job.

Have them shadow you consistently and check in with them.I recommend not delegating a task until you are 100% successful at the task yourself.

Would love to learn about pain points from other property managers.So I have a career background working in software and am currently applying simply builds to common monthly tasks such as sending, receiving, and logging payments for rents.

Additionally, explore technology tools that streamline remote property management tasks, such as online rent collection platforms and smart home systems for monitoring.
