Quote from @Logan Walkup: What collection agency is best for prior tenant that owes money?  

But I use TurboTenant for the rent collection and lease management personally. 

Every month I am texting 4 or 5 tenants to remind them to pay rent or trying to collect rent fees.

Over 10 years, I’ve written more than 750 articles, all SEO-optimized but focused on helping, not selling.

What works for me may not work for you.Right now your only "problem" is that you want to collect rent online.

In NH/NE, having a solid RE attorney who understands entity structuring and estate planning will be a huge asset — a lot of investors here recommend asking your CPA for referrals since they often work closely with attorneys.As for pivoting with purpose, many investors in your shoes start by clarifying whether they want to optimize for cash flow, appreciation, or lifestyle flexibility — that decision usually shapes whether they lean toward multifamily, short-term rentals, or commercial.

Scope of improvements included:Full interior updates: new flooring, interior paint, lighting, granite countertops, and updated appliancesAddition of high-demand short-term rental amenities: game rooms, custom bunk beds, hot tubs, swimming pools, and putting greensProfessional interior design and full furnishing to optimize guest experience and nightly ratesThese improvements were executed with the objective of maximizing long-term performance, increasing appraised value, and creating differentiated offerings within the Hot Springs vacation rental market.Refinance & Financial PerformanceUpon completion of renovations, we partnered with a local commercial lender to refinance the portfolio.Combined appraised value (ARV): $2,601,000Approved loan amount: $2,200,000 (cash-out refinance)After retiring the hard money loan, the transaction resulted in a net cash return of $300,470.51, which represents $118,181.09 more than our original down payment—effectively removing all invested capital from the project.TimelineThe full cycle—from acquisition through renovation and refinance—was completed in 174 days.OutcomeThe result is a portfolio of three fully renovated, amenity-rich lakefront properties, each now positioned to perform as premium short-term rentals with strong long-term appreciation potential.

But with the constant grind, I'm always looking to optimize things and pick up better tools.Curious what you all use for lead tracking?

As I start future projects — what would you optimize next?

Learning, making money, increasing your savings rate - optimizing your $ & putting it in places that'll somewhat stay the same/make $ (HYSA, Treasuries).
