I’m doing something similar with driving for dollars and skip tracing (recently added more automation to speed it up).

My goal is to automate the process of collecting regulations at the state/county/city/neighborhood level and create a website presenting this info in a filterable format (e.g. a map).

They help automate posts and tailor content to your audience, which could definitely help speed up organic efforts.

I ask these because if you really want to make this a long-term investment and are ready to take on the extra work (software makes it easy to automate about 80% of this, but you still need to be prepared),  then I wouldn't rush into this just to save on taxes and purchase wrong. 

Converting them into primary residences will really benefit you if you're going to hold forever.Another strategy our clients will pursue is sell those properties using 1031 exchanges and purchase passive instruments like NNN commercial properties or Delaware Statutory Trusts which will keep the depreciation recapture deferred. 

Quote from @Parris Taylor: If you only had 30 minutes a week to manage your rentals…What’s the first thing you’d automate?

My messaging issues was with automated messaging not going to the right properties.

It makes their life easier and helps them automate tasks like monthly rent payments.

I am sure there is a good software suite sub $1k/yr that would do the trick... just curious what others are using.Starting to dig into Tenant cloud, baselane, turbo tenant, etc.Main things that come to mind that I really want are:    - automated rent collection (free ach, a fee is a scam)    - maintenance requests in tenant portal    - book keeping (hopefully real estate specific like stessa style) - easy onboarding & tenant managementAppreciate any conversation in advance - 

Do you have any type of automation to help with the calls?
