Tony Marcelle Some Real Estate brokerages hire front desk like Keller Williams, and some Realtors are so busy they need an assiatant to do little tasks that they don't necessairly need to be doing.

If you don't do the homework, you will give them the impression you may not be up to the task of doing the homework with real estate investing.

Hello, I'm taking on the task of having an ADU built on my lot within the next year, but as others might know, getting financing for these things can be a challenge if you don't have a ton of equity in your home or a large cash reserve.

Do one task at a time in each app so you can compare apples to apples.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.

If I were to build a CRM for property management I would implement the following:Property data auto-fill when adding a new property to PodioLanding pages where tenants can file complaints or repair requests that load into Podio and create tasks for managersLanding page for applications, loading into Podio automatically and sending automated followup emails to applicantsAuto drip campaign of mail and texts sent from Podio so you don't have to upload files to various 3rd party sources to do things like send mail or text blast.The sky is the limit when you have access to a customizable backend like Podio.

My current solution is using my iPad Pro with apple pen to write tasks in the notes.  

Forget the tasks - like house hacking...geez - really?

The most effective way to determine the time needed to execute these functions is to run a critical path analysis that lays the tasks out along with the parties that will be employed to do them and the processing time needed for the consultants you will engage and the city/town/county process they will be subjected to.The critical path will inform you as to which due diligence functions are sequential in nature and or which ones can or should be run in tandem.
