What Apps and Tech are you using to streamline your rental property portfolio?

Question

Thought this would be a good thread to share what apps/tech everyone is using to make their real estate business more efficient. We have been using

1. MileIQ which is amazing for tracking the miles you drive seemlessly at the end of the year

2. Quickbooks for book keeping

3. Trello for work flow and day to day operations

4. Streamyard - for content creation paired with Youtube

5. Tinyscanner - for creating PDF's

6. Dotloop - for signing docs

7. Buildium - For property management and rent collection

I am sure I might be missing some but would love to hear what is helping everyone create less stress and more efficiency in their business. Happy Thursday!

@David Hathaway yes indeed, it's one of those nice little hidden features that comes with google docs (even the free version). I use it all the time and just set up multiple shortcuts in a folder on my phone depending on which business's receipt I'm scanning. Here's their howto: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/3145835?hl=en&co...

Raven scanner is a physical scanner that is very fast, does OCR, flips pages as needed, scans both sides, and uploads to a google drive folder. Super handy.

1. Google Workspace - Docs / Storage, Email, spreadsheets, docs, and terabytes of storage. You can also scan documents into PDF with google drive and your phone - use this all the time.

2. Calendly - Scheduling

3. Rentec Direct or comparable for property management software, rent collection, esignatures, maintenance, etc.

4. Canva - fliers, graphics, etc

5. Raven Scanner - fast document scanner scan directly into google drive folder which is then sync'd to all necessary workstations.

Sounds nice. FYI, doesn't work w/ iPhone.

David Hathaway · Answer

Never heard of Raven Scanner, I'll have to check it out. It is a bit annoying in PDF scanner having to scan it then share it into Google Drive. It does auto detect the document and then resize to what you want which is nice.

Are you saying you can scan PDF's directly with google in google workspace? What additional stuff does google workspace provide? We pay for drive space 1TB would having google workstation offer something extra?

David Hathaway · Answer

Yes I forgot about those. We also use ring central for our phone line for all things in our business
