Hi Everyone, I'm exploring rental management software on the market... right now i have just a hand full of rental doors... maybe i'll get up to 20 over the next couple years... depending on if i buy an apartment building or not...What software are y'all using, if any..?

It works well for alot of folks but if your goal is growth and more hands off then I would recommend you keep talking to other managers until you find the fit you need. 

It's very hands off and you can be proactive on finding new tenants while the unit is already rented.

Once you factor in the rental income, both of my recent house-hack clients ended up paying less than market rentto live in an asset they own, not someone else’s.This strategy is powerful because:You drastically reduce your living expensesYou build equity from day oneYou gain hands-on landlord experienceYou’re using long-term, low-cost financing you can’t get on investment propertiesYou create a path to repeat the strategy every 12 months if you wantAnd no — your market doesn’t have to be a “top investing market” for this to work.

I’ve personally seen a multi-family commercial flip through my co-investing club, and it highlighted how larger commercial deals can be structured collaboratively while mitigating some of the hands-on management that comes with residential rehabs.

This approach is often simpler to set up and manage than a hands-on assisted living facility, while still letting you take advantage of deductions and depreciation.So, to sum it up: the model itself isn’t crazy from a tax perspective, but it requires the right entity setup and a clear plan for how involved you’ll be.

On the other hand a friend owns their building and I suspect this is not good for him. 

Hands down the best there is in Memphis!

A big pro is that they offer turnkey options, which can make things simpler for newer investors who want a more hands-off approach.
