I'm an avid reader, basketball player, and beach lounger!

There are a lot of great options out there; 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 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 can definitely telly you how some of the local players roll.

I've got about $350,000 in personal appreciation myself and I'm a very small player.

My regular demolition contractor is no longer doing complete rowhome demolitions...can anyone recommend a licensed, insured, and competent demolition contractor capable of handling complete demolition of a mid-block rowhome in Center City Philadelphia?

. - fri. and am not capable of communicating with tenants at work except during my 30 min. lunchbreak.

I think it depends on your capability, risk profile, ROI goals and the specific deal/area e.g. 

When our first VHS player broke I instantly cracked that sucker open to see what broke and if I, as a 10 year old, could fix it.

Also, business classes, management courses, accounting classes and so forth would all be useful to make you more capable and versatile.

This could work for a wholesale deal, but you need to shop for some of the big players in your market and plan on holding it for a few months.
