@Travis Andres @Brian Malavsky If you're looking for AI messaging, my team has developed an in-house PMS that is now public called Hostvana (hostvana.io) who's core competency is messaging (along with free lock integration and other features) and is more advanced than Hospitable's for a very affordable price.Here are some recent replies in my personal account inbox:https://ibb.co/nk8KWbR (cleaning fee policy question)https://ibb.co/sgP0qmr (parking question and check on status)https://ibb.co/HCKVPd8 (random question answered with previous context)https://ibb.co/gv0tY16 (early check-in reply after checking calendar.

They can ACH it, walk in to a branch with cash or a personal check, etc.I know a lot of people find these third party vendors convenient, but to me it just puts another link in the chain between the tenant's payment and my revenue. 

Obviously I don't want this person filing my return, I'm already in touch with others.

That's how I invest personally.

Check those two lists against all of the lists and articles you have been reading to see where the closest crossover is.That is how you find a competitive advantage.If you build an out-of-state funnel with everyone you just met, you will not have a competitive advantage.Number 1 above gives you a personal, geographic advantage.

Something I keep in mind when researching on YouTube is finding someone the most similar to myself in regard to personality, so that when you viewe their videos, you could see myself easily applying the information.

@Juan VargasI personally started my business by leveraging credit and now own/operate a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio.

Both an IRA and 401k can leverage with a mortgage, so long as the mortgage is non-recourse - meaning no personal guarantee from you.  

This formalizes the relationship and segregates the rental income from my personal income.Banking and Accounting:Separate Accounts: Open a separate bank account for the LLC.

If not - fly there and meet a bunch of PMs in person.
