I’m looking for recommendations for a platform to deal with the maintenance requests and help weed out most of the rest of the BS communication.

I can't comment on the platform to use, but on another note, check your insurance policy and see if there is any Cyber coverage.

Quote from @Nicholas Sanchez: In the middle of putting my spare bedroom onto a rent by the room platform.

Hey Logan,If you haven’t been able to find any local meetups here on the forums, I’d suggest checking a few other platforms: Meetup.com, Facebook groups, and Eventbrite often have real estate investing events, networking nights, or even informal investor gatherings.

I’m currently building a private executive mobility company focused on high-net-worth and executive clients.The platform centers on reliability, discretion, and asset-backed operations (armored vehicle, licensed, insured).Phase one is being built independently , but I’m open to connecting with investors or operators who have experience scaling service-based businesses, logistics, or real-estate-adjacent ventures.

Most of the big platforms (Buildium, Stessa, Yardi) are either too expensive or built for the US market.For 7 units, you don't need all the bells and whistles of enterprise software - you just need something that helps you stay on top of compliance deadlines (rent increases, inspections, lease renewals) without breaking the bank.Have you looked into more focused solutions that just handle compliance tracking rather than full property management?

Quote from @Andrew Philpott: Hello BiggerPockets community,I’m new to the platform and at the very early stages of real estate investing, and I’d love some direction from those who’ve been through this already.My wife and I are planning to buy our first investment property within the next few months.

Just the other day I had a female contractor reach out to me on here and she had really formed a great profile with connections, etc wanting to connect and chat about how we could do business together.

Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat about how financing plays into early-stage strategy.

Attend local real estate meetups (REIAs), investor-friendly contractor events, or use platforms like Thumbtack and HomeAdvisor to vet a few GCs who’ve worked with flippers.
