We have not even talked about their MLS access and their bird dog solutions.

When this happens to me, I end up selling the property and moving to something larger. 

I think it would be helpful to have some kind of assessment tool to evaluate larger cities' markets based on inventory, average time of properties on the market, appreciation rates, etc on a yearly or quarterly basis.

I wanted to cash in on the equity and trade up to a larger property.Purchase price: $1,250,000Cash invested: $50,000What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I think you're making the right move here to address this in a proactive manner as opposed to reactive when the problem is larger. 

It can be scary when you think about the larger numbers, but just keep in mind, they're just numbers.

At this point in time, I can't justify investing there when I can deploy slightly larger amounts of capital at a comparable price to rent ratio in parts of the SF Bay Area. 

Business products that that scale to larger amounts are Buildium, Appfolio and ManageCasa especially for someone with less 50 units, since the entry price is pretty low and they include maintenance management.

Even in my market it'll differ on size:  Airbnb comprises most of the smaller sized units but it flips to vrbo as unit size gets larger.
