I'll definitely work to create a system to do just that.

They're going to spend billions on a rail system that won't help.When the earthquake hit in 2006, people freaked out and bought up all the bottled water and rice just because the airport was closed for a few days.

In the end, there's no use preemptively investing in systems, multiples of tools, employees, workers comp and all the overhead to take your business to people who will low-ball you or haggle or just want a guy who has a license who picked up a day laborer/helper to get it done quickly and satisfactorily.

As far as I know, Propertyware is the only system that allows custom fields.

Sure, some people make a killing off of low-end rentals but it is extremely time intensive and you would need to have your systems/processes firmly in place.

As an example, I am in Charlotte and we use a light rail system.

MA has very tenant friendly laws and people can try to game the system as much a possible, I've heard some horror stories from friends of friends about bad tenants that were able to stay in an apartment for over a year WITHOUT PAYING RENT!

@Zantiago Zurita I think you have to have systems and just follow it.

I'm very interested on the BRRRR system and hopefully get my first property soon.

Let alone that security deposit isnt really meant for damage... come on... even in Ca. where rent is like $4k for a house... if they damage even one system (floors, paint, counters etc) it doesnt cover it...
