Aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications -- pulled reports from TransUnion, which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

I would say the biggest thing here is to know your market.

The biggest issue here is that the seller understands your opinion of the value (so give them a CMA), and if they choose to sell it for significantly more or less than that, its certainly their prerogative to do so.

The biggest downside is that your return on investment will be lower due to the lack of leverage.

I've started researching real estate and I have so many questions, but the biggest one is: How on earth do I know the value of a property for sale?
