It's cloud based, easy to reconcile accounts, can accept rents electronically, etc. 

And what have you found to be the best ways to pay electronically?

I use basic electronic deadbolts.

If you have tenants that use the internet you could think of setting up some kind of electronic transfer like cozy.co (It is cozy.co not cozy.com). 

I see many people choose to use a business entity when sending direct mail, using billboards, advertising on social media, etc. when promoting their investing business and looking for distressed property owners.

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

There are a few things I would do to drum up investor clients looking to purchase an investment property:Network: I would reach out to my personal and professional network to see if they know of any investors looking to purchase an investment property.Marketing: I would create a marketing campaign to target potential investors, including online ads, direct mail, and social media promotion.Host events: I would host informational events or seminars to educate potential investors on the benefits of investing in real estate and how to purchase an investment property.Online presence: I would make sure to have a professional website, and an active social media presence, to showcase my expertise, my properties and my team.Be a resource: I would be a resource for investors by providing them with information on the local real estate market, including property listings, market trends, and financing options.

I know there is a meetup this evening in Minneapolis and they are back to being pretty regular if you join those groups on Facebook and other social media outlets.

That would be great, would you prefer connecting via BP, social media or text?

He also plans on managing online advertising and creating/maintaining a social media presence.What is the best way for me to hire my son so that would maximize tax savings for the both of us?
