I have purchased software before and I knew going in it is not always clear sailing. 

I’d like to automate it online... maybe on this small of a scale, it’s a pipe dream... idk.

I am looking for a recommendation on property management software/accounting for myself.

Do you want automated searches or personal searches? 

Easy Storage Solutions and StoreEDGE are the 2 most used software platforms in the Self Storage space.

In the mean time I've been combing the market for Fix and Flips in the Orange County area, using a software program that brings me off market leads.

They just don't have the ability to move the needle at the park, nor will they care as much as you do as the owner, so you will be left disappointed with their lack of performance.For value-add parks with vacant park owned homes, vacant spaces, and one that may have been previously poorly managed and in need of a lot of work, I suggest you hire a full time onsite management team capable of performing all the duties of management, home sales, managing maintenance and repairs, and the implementation of software systems and processes that will eventually have the park running like a Swiss watch.

I'm a software engineer, and Austin has a lot of opportunity for me.Ryan, can you tell me more about the deal of the duplex you just purchased?

Check with your Self storage software company.  

It needs to be part of the contract.Also make sure the insurance is part of your Management software and not an independent coverage.
