Part 2: Developing Your Office Operations and Business Team

Send us Fan MailWelcome to the second part of our two-part series all about creating your rental property team.   If you missed last week where we chat about our maintenance contacts and who we depend on in our field operations, please give episode 14 a listen!This episode discusses our business contacts who we depend on in our office operations.Both Kevin and I have business degrees, but they don’t mean anything if we try to DIY it all and not hand business operations off to the professionals.  We rely on a few professionals that have walked us through THE MOST IMPORTANT aspects of our business.Of course you'd guess our CPA and our attorney but give it a listen to find out who else is essential to our team and building our success as rental property owners!Lastly, we briefly discuss the software we rely on and a few we are looking into to continue to streamline our business practices. LINKS:TurboTenant is a great option for landlords with just a few doors or for those who may be new to using rental property software.  For the most part, TurboTenant’s software is free to use so they are perfect for those on a tight budget.Hemlane is a software that is built to grow with your needs as a landlord. For a minimal amount, there's a really good basic package but what we love is the option to upgrade and add 24/7 maintenance management on.  It gets better!  If you reach a place where you are ready to hand off management to a property manager, Hemlane has that too under their “Complete” option.Doorloop is relatively new to the landlord software space but they are global and can handle any property in any country and with any currency.Where their features are similar to the others, from a tech standpoint, Doorloop is extremely modern and intuitive. There are help pop-ups all through the dashboard, it's fully customizable, there are reporting templates, and they're optimized for mobile devices and tablets. Quickbooks is our go to software for accounting and bookkeeping.  Using QuickBooks allows us to do a deeper dive into analysis and evaluate income and expenses.  We can segment these income and expenses by property and even down to the unit.We especially like that Quickbooks has a mobile app for us to accept payments on the go.  This makes taking in person application fees and security deposits VERY convenient.Bigger Pockets is a great free resource for real estate investors.  They have created a huge community and their site is filled with all different forms of communication just for landlords.AAOA: Every rental property owner needs a landlord association. At  AAOA, their mission is to serve the interests of landlords nationally for FREE.Want the podcast link emailed to you weekly? Subscribe to our FREE newsletter, Landlord Weekly!▪️Landlord Tips ▪️ Early Access to Our Blogs ▪️ Landlord Specific Articles by Other Industry Pro's ▪️ Podcast LinksConnect with Us: 🌎 Visit our website 📧 Subscribe to our newsletter.👆 FREE Landlord Forms and Doc’s🤳Text Us: 650-489-4447📩Email us at: [email protected], [email protected] ➡️ Give us a review: Apple or on Spotify or YouTube ✔️Course Waitlist📱 Instagram, Facebook, &  Private Facebook group
