@Brendon Bourne would need more specific details to comment on.

Otherwise, suggest you hire a consultant to create an implementation plan.

Only works if you give them easy tasks or hire them direct and train them for several months.

Find a good Property Management Company FIRST!

All other parties are transaction based and may only be interested in the deal. 

A PMC has to deal with whatever you buy EVERY day.

Suggest you give them your bank account info and have them deposit directly into your account.

Require them to take a pic of their deposit receipt and send to you, so you know who the deposit is from.

Hey, I work for Logical PM and just want to point out the following:

1) John Wilson profile just created:

Member since June 27, 2023

2) The only John Wilson in our system, and we track EVERYTHING, is a vendor, NOT an owner.

3) John, feel free to reach out with your contact info, so we can resolve this professionally!
