Multi Family investor and Software Engineer

I started to invest in multi-family out of state about 2 years ago. Currently owns three properties(two deals) with partners and other investors. 

I am also a full-time software engineer and love building software. So I started to put something together on a website last year, just to make communicating with investors easier(showing investment performance, documents, etc). I know there is similar software out there (Appfolio, IMS ...), so I always trying to figure out if building something similar is worth my time, and our biggest pain point currently is capital, not technology.

So I am wondering for those of you, the more advanced sponsor/investors out there. What do you think is missing on the technology side? Is there something you wish technology handles better(integration with payment, work automation, etc)?

Here's the investor portal that went public to our investors recently. (SF001 is not real)

Great work Calvin! It's good to see other technologists working and experimenting on tech products in the space. I think the RE space is ripe for technical innovation, sometimes it takes a while to find product market fit. There's a ton of old guys in the RE space that don't like this kind of advancement because it means change, and it's scary for their business model. 

Would be great to chat more about what problems you're trying to solve.
