Without physically seeing the property or the inspection report, its a little hard to get a full idea of the property and any work it may need.

For appointments, attach digital versions to calendar invites so you don't need physical copies.

This way if there’s physical damage by residents the company pays the first $500 to fix it.

However, if the property is fully marketed, it's essential to physically visit the site to make informed decisions.During the property tour, I make it a point to see various units, including classic, updated, and down units.

Agreed on the exterior state of the property- trash in nearby bushes, signs of physical struggles, poor workmanship on repairs, etc. 

Cheap, but often indefensible in an audit.The "Full Field" (Expensive): Physical site visits.

@Sara Joe  I use over 20 different acquisition methods including foreclosures, off market, probate, tax sales, and other problem properties like title issues or physical issues like fire, smoke, ice, and water damaged. 

I will not trust the tenant to manage the risks prudently and will instead utilize a modified gross lease where I will retain control over physical work orders, snow removal and items that I view as greater liability occurrence related activities. 

@Gustavo Jara, what do you think of joining our next (not sure when that will be with the current situation) physical meet up event in Barcelona?

At tax time, you export a Schedule E report.A few things I really like:Virtual sub-accounts: Separate buckets for security deposits/CapEx without opening new physical accounts.Auto-tagging: It knows what Schedule E lines look like.Rent collection: Tenants pay by ACH/card, and it flows right into that property's ledger.It's free: No monthly fees.If you have clients (or if you are just managing your own portfolio) who aren't organized enough for QBO but need something better than Excel, this is the sweet spot.
