With online access to almost every jurisdictions property recordings, lenders today use software that automatically searches property transfers for transfers involving their loans.  

Does anyone have any tips or software tools to help give estimates on pricing and the potential occupancy of the rental?

I definitely get most of my information here + my software email updates usually keep me pretty well informed. 

Also look at pricing softwares and adjust accordingly.

I started with the Simple Start plan, but as I learn more about the software, I realize that to effectively classify income and expenses per unit, I need to use Classes and Locations, which are only available on the higher-tier plans.I’ve seen suggestions to use units as customers as a workaround, but I’m curious if anyone else has tried this approach or has recommendations for managing multiple units in QuickBooks with the Simple Start plan.Looking forward to your feedback!

Depending on the development of the software, it would be interesting to see if AI can replicate the role of a listing agent.

My first self-developed software gave me efficiency.  

You can buy a set of five for under $300, subscription for the recording software is $10 a month, then the cost of WiFi or hotspot.If you've already had a couple break-ins, you are obviously in a high-crime area.

I recommend having a pricing software (pricelabs perhaps). 

Whether you need a CPA with just three rentals depends on the complexity of your situation and your comfort level with DIY tax prep.If things are pretty straightforward, you might be fine with tax software for now.
