They briefly mention missing deductions on tax returns such as mileage driven to visit rental properties, meals with real estate agents, writing off portions of a trip as a business expense, purchasing technology as expense related etc. 

The days of letting some things slide have gone thanks to our modern technology.

I actually heard him first in a technology podcast (his W-2 job was/is as a newscaster).Listening to his podcast is what got me interested in real estate investing.

If you are going to try to scale your business quickly with a ton of properties, it may make sense to get ahead of the technology curve.I agree with some thoughts that even if you only have one property, the sooner you treat it like a business, the more it will help you in the long run to effectively manage your properties.Anyways, just my two cents. 

@Julian Pilate-Hutcherson We work almost exclusively with OOS investors and it's a mixed bag...I sold 3 MF properties this month to folks that have never been to the state...and I have another set of clients that have been in the market for months and make routine visits to the city...I think it has a lot to do with comfort-level...truth told, we can leverage technology and get every possible detail on the table for review to make a pretty informed buy/pass decision...combined with an inspection and appraisal, there is really no need to be here in person looking at deals....

None of the technology companies I've worked at would ever consider external submissions to internal communication lists.

More of a cost of technology issue for something like that.

Subjects like accounting, writing, technology/web design, public speaking, and financial literacy will be critical for success. 2.

I spend much of my day reading & talking with people about the current RE market conditions, and for now,  Houston and much of Texas has faired well, so we are using caution when showing homes, and using technology to streamline much of the transactions.

Their website basically shows they have all the same features as showmojo, so I'd guess I'd have been happy going with them as well.I'll also be trying out the self-show codeboxes that integrate with either platform - I know many PMs don't care for the idea of using these self show boxes, but I'm a sucker for technology and if they might provide a potential for shorter vacancies, and increased prospect and personal convenience, I'm willing to test them out.
