On paper it sounds great but it reality giving away 50% of the cash flow and profit you need to automate and scale your business for services you really do not need in the first place can be very detrimental to your short-term and long-term success. 

I have found that it has really helped me work on the stuff that's important, and assign busy, non-value added, work to VAs, or automation utilities. 

keep your heart out of it.it's a business, make sure renters understand it's a business.never rent to friends and relatives, your the last one they will pay.get your team in order. automate rent collections if possible. late payments should be dealt with on a schedule. fix anything wrong, thank them for letting you know about a problem. i can't fix what i dont know about. 

QB does not allow an automated feed (which is crazy).

I know it takes several days for a third party payment service to debit the tenant's account and deposit to my account (and then it takes one business day to become available), but I like the automation.

Automate for scale.

You take all of the tenants payment (which consists of PITI + your cash flow) for any particular property with a HELOC and turn it against the balance of what is owed on the HELOC (pay the taxes & insurance out of the HELOC via auto pay at the appropriate times...completely automated).

Otherwise, we don't leave voice messages if we are calling on one of our automated dialers. 

Anyone have any ideas they are willing to share as far as automating your real estate business using technology?
