I live within a mile of my properties that is short term rental and use software and smart methods to reduce the work.

Considering that most Austin properties break the 1% rule, are you doing the BRRRR method?

I may have gone to greater length's detailing the explanation for purposes of evaluating the use of the business method.  

I developed them to solve problems we constantly find when we are doing REI. 

CashApp, etransfer, they can go to the bank and make the deposit themselves (preferred method) & I’ll take any other form of payment that transfers money from them to me 😆 I am planning to switch to an online system as soon as I finish taxes.

Only downside to this method is it's messy and dusty, and if you ever have to patch the ceiling matching the texture is really difficult.

I would like to solve their problem and help myself too.

The reason is because different operators will have different financing methods and rates and it is not a cost that is intrinsically necessary for operating the property (net operating income).

@Randolph BrownThe BRRRR method philosophically means you are buying distressed properties at a discount.  

I think it’s best to leverage your money, but it’s important to look at your ROI/CoC to determine your best method of cash versus leverage.
