The truth is, a good host will spend time managing each rental.

Is anyone aware of any of a property management tool that allows PMs to give discounts to tenants who enroll in autopay (similar to how major US phone providers like do these days)?

Samford's business school also offers a concentration in real estate investment and management.

@Gutta Bunni are you advertising your management services?

Vaughn is 40 years old, has a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing and Business Management from Temple University in Philadelphia, and resides in the City of Tampa, FL.Ms.

If you are someone who has a bigger portfolio that you manage I would suggest appfolio or yardi.  

The asset management piece of investing is not focused on enough, in my opinion. 

Would this make you question your property managers?

To set the stage, I'm owner of a short-term rental property in the Poconos in PA and we use a property management company for bookings, maintenance/cleaning, guest management, etc.This past weekend we had a guest booking but when the guests arrived Friday evening the house had no running water, though it had been running fine earlier in the day when the Property manager (PM) was at the house to give a final check and leave the welcome packet.

Currently, I am self managing all the operations.
