Use personal or business spending to earn cash back or travel rewards. Here are my favorite deals.

Free online management software. Collect rent, screen tenants, and more.

Online management software that I use. Useful when you scale your self-management to more properties.

Invest as little as $1,000 in real estate crowdfunding loans to other investors.

Free software to track your net worth & portfolio in real time. Fun & intuitive to use.

I recommend books, tools, and other resources from time to time using links within my articles. In some cases these links are affiliate links. This means that if you click through and purchase, my company will receive a commission on the sale. These commissions help pay the bills around here (and avoid the need for spammy ads). But keep in mind that I only recommend a product or service if I’ve used it and personally believe in it. And I’ll recommend something that’s good whether it has an affiliate link or not. My first priority is helping you, my reader, to learn and improve.
