CRM would be awesome or integration with a CRM10.

Especially these days when we have so many online tools, management is really not that time consuming.

Use a syndication tool such as Zillow Rent Manager to syndicate your ad all over the web. 

Will a property management company will have more tools and power then me if tenant doesn't pay? 

What other tools do you use in your analysis for short-term / vacation rentals?

@Eric RitvoLike with all my big purchases (cars, tools, vacations, houses, boats, RVs, etc.)

They can bring in a laser measuring tool to see if it's a settling/foundation issue.  

I have a lender to handle the financing, I used several modeling tools to evaluate the deal.

I upload those lists into an online crm called ClientLook which allows me to see if owners (or llcs) own several properties which increases your chance to find an owner that fits your cold call or mailer.

I want to get my first wholesale deal out of the way and use the profits to setup my business structure, pay for any tools and resources that I need & want, etc.My plan is to setup my general LLC and any SFR & MFR that I plan to purchase for would fall into separate LLCs that would be serialized into the main LLC.I guess I'm just looking for some guidance in this arena.
