So thank you sir.Reference to automation, I signed up for Investorfuse and Podio the 2-3 weeks ago.  

The scenario I described above is meant to do some digging (not an exhaustive or major time consuming process) to locate all the owners of the apartments in our target market and then automate a contact campaign to see if we can stimulate an off market deal (emails, cards, letters, phone calls) and to create more of a working network within that target market.  

Start developing processes and automation applications to increase efficiency of handling my current RE investments o free up more time for research and making offers.

You will need to find a broker that will manually underwrite your file and point out that she is your sister, automated underwriting will kick it out.

My suggestion is, since you already chose your niche: buying residential MFH (2-4 units) is to stick to this strategy until you have it automated.

🎃Growing pains of a business which is starting to scale - I feel I really need to add more automations and smart software solutions but I’m not sure where to start.I own, with a partner, about 20 doors - self managed LTRs, MTRs, and STRs, rehabs going on for flips, a bit of mentoring, and also searching, analyzing and closing more in between (1-3 deals a month), it’s a lot of things to remember and manage.Can you recommend ways to reduce time spent on updating things manually on 10 different places?

Airdna for market comparable, pricelabs for pricing automation and lodgify for guest booking automation. 

Automation is good in many ways, and detrimental when used exclusively. 

People forget that in my opinion and try to looking for automated ways of doing real estate.
