Features like tenant screening and applications are nice but my main concern is ease of use (I'm not too tech savvy),  accounting, accepting automatic payments. 

I use cozy and generally very happy with it, but late fees are a weakness...or else I simply don't know how to have it automatically applied.

I have a service I use that auto posts on 97 additional websites that do not get automatic MLS Syndication.  

Your fees with the lender could be infinite, so then say if you were using an FHA loan, the phrasing would automatically go to the maximum of 6%. 

I also learned Google Apps Script and have automated a lot of functionality like pulling pdfs off of emails and throwing them in certain folders automatically while kicking out email reports, as well as building a spreadsheet of all utility activity based on email notices that get sent out by providers.

Is there any "unwritten" rule that when renting the first floor of a building it automatically includes basement?

One option to stay liquid and still see some double digit gains on your money is robotic trading software - give u Hedgefund level automated trading and it mitigates downside Rick - pulls you into cash position if any stocks get outside normal dips. http://flipstockmarket.com I've held my money here (15%) return and just pulled some out for a commercial deal.

@Roshan K.I've listen/ read to a lot of books and there are few books that I must say have changed my life " The Automatic Millionaire", "Set for Life by Scott Trench BP", "The E myth"and lastly "The One Thing".

It might make it a little harder for You to calculate where you are in the amortization schedule, but the bank's software does it automatically and you can find an app/online calculator to do it yourself.

The so what about this routine is this: none of the MLS auto distribution lists that are emailed automatically (to every broker, agent and investor) on a daily basis picked up this property until after our offer was in.
