This is a practice by some less than reputable companies.

As I explore the neighborhoods in NW Philly, any suggestions on reputable agents with experience in those areas? 

Love it.Best advice I can tell you is to prospect prospect, you must lead generate, meet people tell them what you do, preferably face to face, but also on the phone, online etc, albeit I prefer and spent most of my time on face to face meeting and conversation.

Our online court records in CT are now automatically dropping tenants' evictions fro the record after 3 yrs, or even less. 

These are features like online renter payments, tenant portal (for payments and work orders), help keeping track of work orders, tax reporting features, and accounting functionality.

I am still living in the past, where your word is your reputation and your reputation is your character. 

When you do the research, yes, you can see this fake magazine cover plastered all over the fake websites but no actual content is found and no reputable sources can help support his claims of being in these major magazines.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Here's a list of things to track:- Formal lease application- Formal signed and executed lease specific to your state- Payment history (I recommend using online rent collection like Apartments.com, RentRedi, etc)- Maintenance requests and receipts- Accounting for all rental-related expenses (repairs, utilities, etc) The more you treat it like a business, the more helpful you are to your CPA come tax time.
