I am also big on being willing to add goals as the year goes on just because the year is ending or beginning (depending on how you look at things) that goals can be always be tweaked, modified, and added.

Accountant said use MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) 27.5 years.

Currently, I use Innago for:- applications (you can personalize with intro's, logo, and their applications can be modified to questions to a specific property also)- listings (they automatically list on realtor.com and zumper, I also list on zillow and FB market Place)- tenant screening (background, credit and eviction history)- lease signing, addendum signing (this is a powerful one, they allow you to upload a PDF and leave it blank in areas that need to be changed, a good majority of the document is automatically filled in when you select a tenant so all you have to do is verify it and send)- Documents, (I use this for the walkthrough documents, photo's, anything that is specific to the renter) (I use stessa documents for property specific documents)- tenant communication (the only thing that I would like to add to their software is scheduled messages, for items like filter replacements ect... you can have a saved template that you just select the tenant and send which is quick. - maintenance requests (When your tenant or you put the maintenance in you can review it modify it ask questions then send it to your handyman via email with all the information so they can give you a quote on repairs) (it also tracks if they are still open or closed, you can make it where you or both you and the tenant can see the maintenance request which is good because some of the minor repairs I keep track of until tenant turnover so I can fix later)- rent payments, (they even allow for a security deposit return electronically vice mailing it)I use Stessa for all of my accounting.One thing I would like for Innago to add is a calendar option inside of the software.

thanks for your time and help rent to retirement works directly with build to rent developers like us around the country once they are framed up. you are buying properties pretty much at market value but with a hand holding. you can work directly with a builder or directly with them. they are just an intermediary. they take 5% on what we make as a builder but have a large list of investors and a systemized approach to selling new builds. if you want to get a better deal I'd recommend directly contacting builders and building it yourself. fly to the market. spend 2 days, tour new builds, get a feeling for how it's going. if your builder isn't building multiple at a time then I wouldn't recommend working with them. rent to retirement is a well oiled and well run machine. they've had their ups and downs with dozens of transactions in florida but modified their process. they are well known and established and transparent. if you have a more specific market and feel confident in your ability to vet deals try it out. happy to talk more my info is in my signature. we work directly with them to sell new builds and no organization is perfect but I have good things to say about them as a builder and potential build to rent developer that sells build to rent triplexes and single family homes through them to end buyers in California like the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego 

I have an extensive negative keyword database, good handle on modifiers.

To be in this business as a landlord, and a successful one, you have to modify your business profile to meet market prices and costs of business.

(3) Require 3+ references, and reach out to them (anyone can provide a list of names, and few people ever call after receiving the list)(4) Require proof of insurance and ask to be listed as "additionally insured" (you will be notified if the policy is modified or canceled)(5) Require proof of licensing and permitting (many contractors will say permits have been pulled when they haven't)(6) Research the company, owner, etc thoroughly online - you can learn a ton (social media, google reviews, Better Business Bureau, etc)(7) Trust your gut.

I could modify the wood on a table saw, but that's labor intensive. 

What is your experience when the tenant wants to modify the rental property himself?

The best suggestion is to take what others have done successfully and then modify it to your particular setting.
