While there isn’t a single tool that covers every aspect of market research perfectly, there are some robust platforms coming close.

Quickbooks online has a robust reporting platform, and although not made for real estate investors directly, if you classify each property correctly and set up a system from the start, you will be able to reconcile per property using the amortization schedule and provide a clean monthly report for the investors.A good bookkeeper will be worth their fee when scaling a portfolio.

One major takeaway I’ve seen over and over again:The success of an out-of-state investment has far less to do with the platform you buy from and everything to do with the team you build around the property. 

INNAGO - This user-friendly platform is packed with fantastic features, ranging from marketing and tenant screening to payment processing, maintenance work orders, and much more!

Think Schedule E line items.

Simple answer is Investors have people like me and many others in BP to keep the books clean as possible, usually running some form of accounting tool/platform.

This platform offers an excellent opportunity for networking and building connections.

If you have a turnkey rental property, multifamily building, or home located in a high-growth market, combining broker outreach with investor-focused listing platforms will help you generate maximum traction and serious offers

Hi Connie,In addition to Zillow, here are a few other platforms that have worked well for marketing long-term single-family rentals:Apartments.com (which also syndicates to sites like ForRent.com and ApartmentFinder)Realtor.comHotPads (owned by Zillow, but sometimes gets separate traffic)Craigslist (still effective in many markets—just be mindful of scams)Facebook Marketplace and local Facebook rental groupsAvail or TurboTenant – free or low-cost platforms that also syndicate to multiple rental sitesAlso, if you're in an area with strong local demand, a simple yard sign can still attract quality tenants.Hope that helps—and best of luck filling your vacancy!
