Training board member's is just not in my niche.If you have a bent toward education or someone on your team, you will be an invaluable part of every association you manage.  

We are in Lake Balboa in the City of LA.I'm considering giving my landlord an offer to buy before we move.

welcome @Cam Caraher and congrats on joining BP, this place is the start for many, sure was for me longer ago than I care to admit.I'm not personally in your market, although was born in dorchester and grew up in NH, but this is a great place to meet locals.If you have not already a great starting point is the Meetups posted here, just search for your area and see if any meetups are happening. 

I’ve got extensive experience in multi family residential ……………….

Is there a question somewhere in there I missed?

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

I plan to sell and 1031 exchange this property in the next 12-18 months.

I recently earned my real estate agent license in California, and I'm just one exam away from becoming a licensed architect here as well.

We'd be interested in taking a look and providing an additional opinion to the offers you may be getting.

You should look at what the other rentals in your area are doing.
