Unless you use an app like getproperly, or igms, and pay a monthly subscription, gcal is your best bet.

It features a new app that just snagged $25M in investment capital.

In fact, I stink at it.I'd love to find an app or program that at least partially automates the process. 

I know some folks have even used apps like Venmo and PayPal.

If approved, do not process any additional apps, BUT, you can certainly hold onto them as backups until you actually collect the full SD and the first period rent (whether pro-rated or full month).

Now I use an app that allows me to send house information and visual cleaning/turnover instructions to the person doing the turnover for me.

Then I downloaded an app that hijacked all of my contacts and sent them unsolicited spam email about how I was a licensed Realtor and to contact me for all of their needs.  

@Tom Fidrych its hard to improve on the post by @Nathan GesnerWe have never had this work well...if this is your operating style there is nothing wrong with doing repairs yourself...you may be better off with flat fee management services...a focus on admin and bookkeeping tasks...or maybe a platform like Stessa...I'm sure there are 100 PM apps out there that just do the back-office type stuff.If you do reach an agreement with a manager on this, just make sure all the bases are covered with proper documentationBest of luck

Some common names you'll see thrown around a lot: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend you search for each of those apps online and see what they offer, how much they charge, etc.

I realize now that not everyone has almost 4K just laying around for a security deposit + 1st months rent + app fee's etc.
