@Julie Doke: Industry specific software speaks to you and you can easily relate it to your day to day process.

Can anyone recommend software which would accept monthly payments (from me to seller) and create proper 1099 forms for tax purposes at year end? 

Nathan above gave some good software recommendations, any of which would probably work well.

We use a loan servicing software that has a monthly subscription. 

Does anyone have advice on best software to use if I can't access the MLS yet? 

I personally found this software a lifesaver.

Never used software.

The problem is you don’t know who is or isn’t until after their future forecast is either confirmed or denied.

I have had around 100 stays (~35 with the current cleaning company) and no complaints about cleanliness ever, but in the event that there is an issue in the future, I can see how having pictures to confirm or dispute the guests complaints could be of value.

Account Closed You can do automated lead generation in several ways, depending on whether you're looking for seller leads, buyer leads or private lender leads.Seller Leads: (1) Lead Swiper (online lead search with dozens of targeted searches), (2) Instant Leads -- direct access to listed properties nationwide with a click (3) OfferBot, automated offer making software (I use this every day) (4) Direct Mail Connect (upload your own list or use lists out of Freedomsoft) -- my team manages a ton of direct mail in my real estate business using this, (5) SMS lead generation (I use this every day)...and that's just scratching the surface.Buyer Leads: (1) Nationwide Cash Buyer database (millions of buyer records at the click of a mouse) -- including buyer name, address and all property addresses they've bought including closing dates and prices paid
