hey tim, i should have been more clear. i will be doing all of the property management per se, just looking for an organizational tool via an app or software that will consolidate the communication for my duties. i only have one out of state property and just dont think the amount paid is worth the relatively low stress of this specific quality property and tenant pool. i will look into stessa and buildium- thank you for the recs!

But PadSplit does not handle maintenance and any member communications, our management covers that. 

Try and undertake fairly simple projects for your first couple even if the returns are not as impressive as you hope (still make sure there is sufficient profit).

Same issue with a Registered Agent.Either method are fairly inexpensive and very easy to do yourself.  

So this is actually fairly straightforward... 99% of houses don't make good rental properties - your original primary will not make a good rental. $2900 (mortgage payment) - $2500 (projected rent) = -$400 (monthly cashflow).

@David Varvaro yeah man I know that's probably a good idea, it just seems to me that it adds another touch point when it comes to communicating between on-island contacts.

Keep records of all communication, and be prepared to take further steps if necessary.

And that's fair since we know not everyone is honest about their listings.

Get estimates for all repairs that are above fair wear and tear in advance. 

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.
