For clients, I'd say that if a PM can work efficiently and effectively within the software they are using, that is FAR more important than the owner portal features you want to see; a PM with good systems is not going to switch their core software, and there are plenty of subpar PMs who use great software with poor results. 

I'm shopping in Long Island NY and it seems impossible to buy using the 1% rule in this market.I've done some more detailed analysis of deals and it seems like 0.8 might be appropriate here; mMy analysis works like this:Run comps for rent and determine market rentCalculate 85% of market rent and I have my "effective rent" (deduct 5% each for vacancy, management, and CapEx)Calculate PITI (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance)If effective rent > PITI; property cash flows?

I'll use 15% for the investor effective tax rate unless you know otherwise...

Thanks @Greg Dickerson, @Spencer Gray, @Roni Elias for your comments.Yea, I agree with two big factor being the debt type, and rent increase assumptions that will be effected in deals going forward. 

In 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Stephen Covey talks about "sharpening the saw."
