@Aaron LorentzHey Aaron, totally get the concern — juggling multiple STR platforms can get messy fast if you don’t have a good sync system.

Marketing / Outreach• CallTools or ReadyMode for dialers• LaunchControl for SMS• MailChimp / Postalytics for simple mail dripThe biggest upgrade usually isn’t switching tools, it’s consolidating them so you aren’t juggling 10 dashboards.

I like that it’s all in one place—so I don’t have to juggle spreadsheets and multiple apps.

I've been using tools to makes that part way easier, especially if you’re juggling multiple properties or spouses managing them full-time.

Hello Jason,Sourcing high-quality leads can definitely be time-consuming, especially when juggling multiple services like PropStream and door-knocking.

Jobby, love the intention—clear priorities and steady learning while juggling family is the right approach.

Your list makes total sense, especially when you’re thinking long-term (purchase, rehab, ongoing management) with a few rentals — that can get messy fast if you try to track it all manually.I use Baselane’s platform and it’s been good for many of the things you mentioned: I can track rental income and expenses, tag transactions to specific properties, and it helps me stay organized for bookkeeping — so I’m not juggling spreadsheets for every little cost.

Sharing a recent scenario that I think other investors might find useful — especially anyone who’s self-employed or juggling multiple income streams.A homeowner needed to pull cash from their primary residence to renovate their second home, but traditional full-documentation guidelines were pushing the DTI too high to qualify.

I started when I only had a few rental doors, and as I’ve added more units it’s still been solid to manage rent collection, bookkeeping, and expenses in one place.What’s worked for me:Rent payments and income/expense tracking all in a unified dashboard — makes it easier than juggling spreadsheets + separate accounts.Property-level record-keeping, so each unit’s finances stay separated (good if you scale toward 20+ units).Simplicity: setup was straightforward and I didn’t need to be a software expert to get things going.

I didn’t want something as heavy as Buildium either.I switched to Baselane and it’s worked well because:Rent reminders and late fees are automated, which saves me a ton of time.Tenants can pay by ACH, debit, or credit card, and set up auto-pay if they want.There’s a tenant portal where they can also submit maintenance requests, so I’m not juggling texts anymore.I can send messages to tenants directly through the platform instead of mass texting.It’s more lightweight than the big property management systems, and it hasn’t felt like overkill.
