I like to track my return on equity to monitor when to tap into equity of a home to scale or 1031.

Here are a few ways I use them for long-term rentals:Tenant Communication: handling inbound calls, screening applications, scheduling showings, and following up.Property Management Support: coordinating with contractors, managing maintenance logs, and tracking work orders.Back-Office Work: bookkeeping, updating QuickBooks, rent collection records, and reporting.Marketing & Listings: creating property listings, posting on rental sites, and monitoring inquiries.The biggest success comes from training them on your exact systems, not expecting them to build it for you.

For the rest of the house you would do well to pick a color more white/cream/tan than grey to go with your floor but monitors can lie so best to judge yourself. 

As @Brian Burke (and others) mentioned above, CoStar (if that’s what was used) is notoriously incorrect.Our team is always available for questions (contact information is available on our website), but we don’t make it standard practice to monitor every online thread.

Ideally there'd be second factor requirements on any transfer, and especially "suspicious" ones (as defined by an entire team of people who monitor that sort of thing).Cookie theft and other takeover scenarios are a thing.

Although it costs more my advice going forward is A and B neighborhoods you are familiar with and can monitor to avoid a majority of hassles with renting and reselling properties. 

Now that being said, I hold most investments so I also like to monitor return on equity which is not a common metric talked about enough.

I currently pay for Experian Credit monitoring, and that is where I'm getting my fight scores from.

- How will you monitor quality of work?

Right now, I plan on including water with the rent as I do not want to monitor the individual water bill for each unit at this time.
