For context, we manage 20 MTR doors in Los Angeles.

Sorry for the “tough love”, but if you don’t immediately investigate them and take appropriate action, you may not be cut out for managing rentals. 

Looking for advice on payment collection/managment software.

House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

I live in the Seattle area, but I work with a team on the ground that helps me locate deals, project manage rehab and provides property management.

I can share my experience with my 2 rentals in USA and remote management. 

I do not want spend my W2 income to cover house mortgages, to not have pressure if things like layoffs will happen, so my plan is to buy house in a good neighborhood that may have appreciation and some minimal cash flow after all expenses (management, maintenance and vacation).

I managed to get 1 8 unit and 1 6 unit building over the last few months and have done well with them.
