@Mark Lin - It looks like your housing authority is one of those lagging in technology.

With my other long-term tenants in the building it was too risky.Based on what I am hearing people up to no good are leveraging the technology. 

For example: we made $100k from wholesale fees and spent $40k on marketing, technology, education etc. - resulting in a $60k net taxable income.The partnership splits this result between the partners and sends each of them Form K-1 that basically says: you made $30k from this partnership (assuming 50/50 split).Each partner adds his respective $30k to his personal income on his individual income tax return and pays taxes on his combined income from everything.So, the calculations of profit/loss are done on the partnership level, but the resulting taxes are paid on the personal level.

Does anyone self manage out of state rentals utilizing technology apps, vendors, and a decent handyman?

I'm sort of banking on potential rents rising and appreciation beign close to Design district, wynwood etc Plus they're buildig some sort of Innovation center there. 

I have some tenants that are not up to date with technology, and the sites I have used require the applicant to pay and verify identity through email.

There are definitely some innovative and interesting developments in the space.

Hard money used to be a super local, more mom and pop shop type of industry, however, with advances and technology and institutional capital seeking to partake in this space, the industry has changed. 

Gotta love technology :)Hope this helps .
