For a single family home, though, you'd generally be better off going conventional.With regards to management software I have been delighted with my experience with Hemlane (basic, not their premium service, which seems like it only makes sense in a few markets but does sound cool). 

I manage a couple properties in Canada now and I want to branch out and manage more properties, as I am the only one managing said properties what would be the best way to start and what software is best? 

If you are looking for a automated process to do this, check out this post: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...You should also stagger your showings to be most time efficient.

ie. dispositioning your calls (call back, not interested, no answer, wrong number)  in some software or at lealst on a spread sheet?   

It makes it way easier to move fast when you know if somethings a deal or not.You have to move fast, when I make a decision to buy, I can do it based off of pictures and usually within 3 to 5 minutes after a couple of questions feel very comfortable putting a contract on a property.Using a software that does the bidding process for you for repair cost that only helps you know how much it will be, it also gives you ammo with the seller to lower the price.There is so much to tell you and I don’t want to make this post into a novel LOLFeel free to reach out to me if you want to jump on a call for five minutes with some questions.Best of luck!

. - I have a plan, but unsure of which systems/software to use.I know I just started, but I'd like to have my first property purchased within the next month.

If you are interested, keep reading, I will explain and summarize the best I can how larger RE works within some commercial/industrial/government complexes (cluster of systems/buildings, generally speaking).For more complicated systems, there are software/parameters based on previous research to do a more deep analysis of the maintenance and repairs based on condition. 

Depending on what your goals are, you may choose to manage your investments, and there are several software systems available that can make it very easy to self manager. 

Reading all of the regular contributors has helped my business a lot especially about the automation/tools questions that get asked.
