@Rich DavisIt's a function of the market cycle.

I am cheap, but everything looks good and functions well- most important if you are renting it out. 

The search function sucks, if it even exists anymore - it's become so marketing, advertising and click bait oriented. 

Particularly with the blanket view of the city since all neighborhoods haven't functioned the same over the course of the past 6 years.

The main problem that I saw here is the rotation of contractors, so that then you have to find another one.- Maintenance when tenants are staying, what you said is doable too, the only pain fall that I am seeing is to trust the maintenance company and do a recurrent inspection.- Urgent maintenance issues, this is the most tricky part, in my case I have 3 of these situation and the go-to contractor didn't even answer the phone, so I had to find someone else, so made many calls to get this sorted quickly.One of my investors lives in Chicago and found that the house was destroyed when the tenant left so his wife came to Dallas for 2 months to fix everything so they can put back in rent. 

There is also an opportunity to target the rental market with renovations that cater to both families and young professionals given its large, diverse population and proximity to educational institutions.Enhance properties to appeal to families and young professionals, focusing on durability and functionality, such as open-plan kitchens and multiple bathrooms.Example Investment: 130 Benedict Ave, Syracuse, NY 13210130 Benedict Ave, Syracuse, NY 13210 | ZillowLocated right next to the Syracuse University, and currently rented under market for $1,200 a month.

@Julia Jordan Does REI Grow have this function now?

Most cleaners are not going to comply with your PMS platform protocol for cleaning and 98% of the functionality that you are going to use a PMS for will be messaging.

Maybe you do nothing if it is clean and functional.  

You need to call as well and multiple times and rotate lists every 1-2 months and call again.
