FAQs
What technology do I absolutely need to start investing remotely?
A good smartphone is the foundation – most of the tools Andy discusses can be managed from your phone. Beyond that, cloud storage for secure document sharing with lenders and contractors, video calling capability for team meetings and property tours, and some form of digital payment system for managing transactions remotely.
How do I find tech-savvy contractors when investing out of state?
Ask potential contractors how they handle digital payments and whether they can provide photos and videos of work progress. Andy has moved almost everyone to ACH payments through management portals, with only one contractor still requiring checks. The ability to communicate and share updates digitally is crucial for remote investors.
Is a property management system worth it for small portfolios?
Andy used Excel for a dozen years across multiple properties before switching to a property management system. For smaller portfolios, basic tools like Excel for tracking and ACH services for rent collection may be sufficient. Property management systems become more valuable as you scale or when lenders require them for apartment investments.
