. - when you do land those other units, it could be worth considering a shot at a software solution built for DIY landlords (1 - 15 units) to bring some automation to the rental management process, in turn, making things much much easier!

You can check around the forms, but there are many "smaller" PMS (like Hostfully or Ownerrez) that you can dip your toe into and set up a more automated, multi (listing) channel strategy.If I'm misunderstanding your situation, let me know, or send me a DM; I'd be happy to offer my advice on how you can stay hands-off.

Here are some ideas I didn't see you mention: Road Side Signs, Social Media Campaign, a Website (that can actually automate some of the stuff your Wife can't get to b/c of kids and life) and the last mention would be to form a Team.Real Estate Investing is not a 1 Man or 1 Family career, it's a Team Sport.

If you are looking to do massive amounts of mail pieces, you will definitely want to automate it with a mail house.

Hi Aaron-The question with the Lazy millionare system is it dictates how can fish for motivated seller using the automated deal finder/ data cruncher and anaylze using dela analyzer and then even be able to connect to invester all through one system.

As you may see from many of the post responses above, there are definitely some great tools out there which can help bring a certain level of automation to your rental process.

I think it is all automated based on some metric they use.

I would suggest finding a handyman who is very good and willing to take those emergency calls for you.You can scale it by automating as much as you can and having a system in place with steps for evicting, finding tenants, getting a property ready after tenants moving out, etc.Good luck!

It depends on how far below the typical price point that is but frankly I would just comb the listings as they come up based on an automated alert and Call the listing agent, it is not worth it to pay 1-5 k  extra at that price point (unless you are the RE agent getting those $$). 

While they are sending me automated MLS listings (except for my CA realtor, who I think maybe forgot to set that up for me because he is crazy busy right now), I am doing the legwork of sorting through the listings and trying to figure out which ones are in need of significant repair.
