These are features like online renter payments, tenant portal (for payments and work orders), help keeping track of work orders, tax reporting features, and accounting functionality.

Wait, I get it, their online reputation will be enough of a guarantee for you!

@Jorge Vazquez we stopped doing signs over 10 years ago.We had a separate phone number on our signs, so were able to track traffic & applications from them.We were getting more & BETTER leads from our online ads then the signs - so an easy choice to stop using them (also time & money savings).

Quote from @Diana Teng: Hi all,I think my question above is pretty direct.I'm interested to buy my first rental property, and after doing a brief search I see that there are quite a number of places out-of-state (I live in NY state)  that offer affordable homes that deem to be in hot market areas right now (according to many different articles online). 

I'd also add to that that you are paying a 20% withholding tax on gross rental income. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

@Max Bellino For smaller properties like your 2–4 unit multifamily buildings, an online cost segregation study is a quicker and more cost-effective option, providing sufficient accuracy for straightforward properties.

Hi @Tyler Bolton I hope I can help clarify given I see a lot of muddled points of view on these matters online.  

One tenant is behind on rent and has still not paid December rent.I’m seeing mixed things online but looks like I have to file something by the 31st?

@ Sanjay BakshiHonestly it would depend on the demographics of your rentals.
