What Do You Recommend As Great Management Tools For Newbies?

[Kimberly Sutor]

Newbie question: I'm working on my first "solo" long-distance STR investment, and need to be able to communicate virtually with my husband back home. What do you recommend as great "management" tools that will work starting out, but also allow me to grow-into...ie project checklists, team communication (ie Slack), etc?

I'm a list nerd and like to track everything, but don't want to waste my time with busywork creating my own spreadsheets & stuff. I want to utilize good productivity tools right off the bat, ya know?

TIA for your input. It's very much appreciated! :)
