One poster said "on demand" statements which is a system of getting financial info to your clients.  4) Seek out education online, via podcasts, via CD's, via conferences.  5) Lastly - IMPLEMENT what you learn.  

My model is different than other SS implementations since I am basically "stealing" the game plan from another facility in central NC and applying it in southeastern NC.

I currently work in Law Enforcement but am interested in REI, specifically house hacking and implementing the BRRR method.

Along with that I'd suggest implementing a quality phone system to take emergency calls from tenants.5.)

Im tightening my systems and im looking to implement a CRM.

Apartment Guide, ForRent.com, RentPath, Apartment Finder, Apartments.com, your property website, Facebook Ads, Etc are some examples I have implemented to draw in more qualified traffic.

My initial point is that there is a lot of disinformation out there and one needs to be sure of the facts before choosing whether to implement a specific strategy or not.The fact of the matter is that there are a whole lot of areas of the tax code where the IRS does not "expressly confirm" an entirely legitimate interpretation.  

I'm implementing a new key sorting system, procedures for contacting tenants and contractors, and a new office space.

Although in the future we could implement an annual utility fee that's due upon moving in, etc.

At this time, I am not sure which of the electricity/gas meters the common areas are connected to, so that could be a headache to implement solution 1 property.Right now for my property, in order to make it easy for my tenants to rent and manage some of this process for them, I think that a custom version of the  solution 2 above may be what I need, especially in a student/professional renter market.
