Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

I really do value your opinions and appreciate any feedback you can offer. 

No signing expensive leases that you personally guarantee typically. 

She's been renting it for $2,800/month and the condo has a $600 monthly HOA.I want to offer her $350,000 for the condo (its a fair price for it), 5% down payment ($17,500) and pay her monthly $2,000 for 3 years, after which I would refinance and pay her out.

Alternatively, would this work as a typical STR?

(Being that most apartment building in downtown lisbon are small and only need refurbishment on the inside no structural repairs needed).Which offer incredible yields both on a rental basis or from a fix & flip perspective.In my specific case I don’t have the required funds available to enter on my own and therefore am looking for seasoned investors who would be willing to enter on a partnership or joint venture to invest (all legal, with written contracts obviously).I have seen people with no money but the right skills and connections for the job be successful at it.

While multi family and new built luxury high rises might be going down it does not appear to affect more desirable properties that offer more space, amenities, better locations.I am in South East in a desirable area.What is your take on rental outlook?

They argue that their renovation is top notch, so the price is justified, which may or may not be true, but but generally the high quality of the renovation does not pay sufficient dividends in the form of increased rent, so the price to rent ratio just isn't there.They typically advertise a 9% to 13% cash on cash return, but be careful, this is their "first year projection" and in their first year they do some things that I find a it deceptive, such as not accounting for vacancy because they place a tenant prior to closing, and they budget essentially nothing for repairs or cap ex since it is renovated and they offer a warranty.
