I am a loan originator as well who helps people like you, so I'm happy to have a conversation about your financial strategy and qualifying for your first purchase.

Balancing maintenance, upgrades, and cash flow can be tricky.What strategies or financial tools are you using to handle big repairs while keeping your properties profitable?

I don't manage my own properties any more, but when I did I used Buildium.

Since this is my first purchase I knew I'd need as much cushion financially knowing that there's a ton I still don't know.  

Each property is worth about $2m today and mostly occupied.

Hi everyone,              I’m looking for some assistance in finding property management software for three rental properties.

@Evan RekowskiHow much do you know about Property Classes?

  $100k liquid cash will get you $400k property leaving you with zero left over OOS

Having an in house maintenance division adds much value to the property management company and the investors under management.

Because the Property Class dictates the Class of the tenant pool that the property will attract.The Tenant Class greatly impacts rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.Both Property Class and Tenant Class will affect what type of contractors, handymen and property management companies you should target and be willing to deal with a property.The Property Class will also impact the maintenance & renovations you do to, “Maintain to the Neighborhood”.Why is that important?
