I forgot to add that I include info and a QR code for my house on Houfy in my guidebook, and I had a custom magnet made up on Etsy with the QR code for the fridge so guests can't miss it.

Some inspectors may still expect a closet based on local custom, so it’s best to check with the local housing authority just to be safe.

We've found it has superior reporting features and integration features, and is overall more efficient to work with than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so that takes a bit of customization. 

I'll focus my answer in digital property management vs local property management.In recent year it has been an overflowing of digital property management companies, many of which are not making any many and constantly investing in customer acquisition, that is the main reason that you see so low coat on their offering.If you go to stablish digital property management like belong home you will see that prices are similar than a local property management and they make you save many offering you additional services at no cost.You have to evaluate what would it be the additional work that you will have to do to get at the same level than the local PM.You have to analyze this as a business owner like any other services that you will buy from a service provider. 

Credit card transactions still have to be entered manually.We actually use QuickBooks Online (QBO) for our accounting since it gives us more flexibility and reporting options.I’d also love to see an in-app calling feature (right now it’s text only).More flexibility to create custom CRM statuses would be nice too.I haven’t tried many other platforms yet, but for now AppFolio covers most of what we need pretty well.

As an investor you should expect an excellent standard of care and customer service packaged with transparency.

Whereas custom homes are built for a particular owner/buyer who is involved with the design and build from the very beginning. 

And, even though you could customize the systems to get the job done, it will probably take a big effort and long learning curve.If you're willing to try AI, it can build a system for you exactly as you want it.

Those tools are only as good as the person using them.Other platforms geared more towards drag-and-drop brochure sites with minimal customization options will give you far fewer options.Services like Investor Carrot do exactly the same things.

That said, smaller community banks or credit unions can sometimes offer better customer service and faster loan decisions — especially for investors doing multiple projects or house hacks.
