You have the tools and the intelligence to do well in this business.  

Anyone recently use one of these tools? 

I'm not saying you can't find one, only that there are some great tools for learning if you don't. 

I came to biggerpockets to arm myself with the tools and knowledge to make the most informed decision on when and where I enter the market as an investor.  

Usually you could not change the rent before the end of their current leases.My advice: promise nothing, give them new address or online tool for payments, official letter (paper) that you are a new landlord and collect their concerns, needs, maintenance request.

. $50/hr too much in Los Angeles wow what do you hire illegals with no tools?

For some reason I feel like Google Voice is going to be a good tool to use but I just haven't figured out how I want to implement it.

We asked for cosigners and sent them through the TransUnion screening tool.

To your question - of course the equity in your property is a great tool to leverage.
