When they start asking for “origination and insurance” fees up front, that’s when you know it’s a scam.The only fees prior to closing should be an appraisal and perhaps maybe a $200 app fee.

They have a mobile app.

I have the app DealMachine which allows me to type in the address of the home, find the owner and automatically send out a mailer asking if they wanted to sale.

Hello everyone,My name is Andy Skarvada, 37 in San Diego, currently taking over my mothers real estate management business.We've got like 80 long term rentals and about 15 furnished vacation rentals.Wanted to systemize and automate the business as efficiently as possible, so far its a bunchof snail mail, checks, files and paper works old school I suppose lol.Just signed up with Buildium for the long term rentals which should help get everything more efficient, online and digital.Was wondering what software you guys might recommend for the vacation rentals.I know Home Away and Lodgix are big and popular but not sure about their prices.Are there any other ones that you folks recommend that would keep track of leads,inquiries, payments received, when payments are due, when their checking in,with house cleaning marked on an online calendar, a faster way to enter information and sendforms other than winforms and docusign and lastly a calendar that shows all propertiesand bookings, a faster online calendar system rather than manually typing it in excel as you can see attachedThank you all for taking the time to read this and any ideas, websites or companies that youmight recommend would be very much appreciated.

You can find the info on meetup app or meetup.comGood luck!

It removes the barrier of a app fee getting in the way of getting more applicants to apply.

I would go with what’s popular in your area for comparable houses.

@Caten Murphy If you want a mobile app check out Tellus.

Call the city courthouse or get the app for n your phone that tells who owns the property
