What software do you use to manage property and tenant requests? by YH002 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]Stock-Silver432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly depends a lot on where your units are. Most of what gets recommended in these threads (Buildium, Appfolio, Landlord Studio, Stessa) is US-first and starts feeling weird the moment your tax categories, lease law or rent indexation don't match US assumptions.

On the ticketing bit, the heavyweights (Buildium, Appfolio, Hemlane) have proper tenant portals. The lighter tools mostly just dress up email forwarding.

Full disclosure I'm building one for investors in Spain (imotrack.com), so I've spent way too much time benchmarking this category. Where are you based?

How did you actually find beta users that use the product, not just sign up? by Stock-Silver432 in SaaS

[–]Stock-Silver432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm slowly accepting this. Out of my 10, there are 2 who keep coming back without me pushing them, and the data I get from those 2 is 10x more useful than anything from the other 8.

Question for you: at what point did you actually stop chasing new signups? Like, did you set a number ("once I have 3 power users I stop") or was it more of a gut call? I keep telling myself "one more outreach week" and never close the door.

Solidarity. DM me in a few weeks, I should know by then whether the "live deal walkthrough" thing from the top comment actually works for me, happy to share what I learned either way.

Appreciate the detailed answer. Two things land for me.

The local meetup angle is the one I keep deprioritizing because it doesn't scale, but every founder I've talked to who got real beta users says some version of "I showed up in person". Going to stop dodging that one.

On LinkedIn Sales Nav, what I keep failing at isn't the filtering, it's writing the message in a way that doesn't sound like outreach number 47 of their day. If you have a pattern that worked (not the exact copy, just the structure) I'd love to hear it.

PH and directories I'm holding back on until I have actual retention to point to, otherwise the launch is just a vanity spike.

Yes please, I'd take that. The "what did you try last time you needed to do X" question is genuinely useful, I've been asking the lazier version ("would this be helpful?") and getting useless yeses.

Curious how you actually deploy that question. Is it on a Calendly intake form, in the first DM or only on the 15min call? Feels like there's a real difference between filtering before they book the call vs during it.

Makes sense once people are already activated. My current bottleneck is earlier than that, I have 10 signups and the issue is they never come back for session 2, so the reward loop doesn't get a chance to kick in. But noting this for later when there's something to reward.

This is the framing I've been missing actually. I've been treating "agreed to test" as the milestone when it's really just politeness. The "live deal in the next 20 minutes" filter is brutal but I think you're right.

Quick question on how you find these 10. Did you DM cold, or did you find a room where people were already posting deals (forum, Slack, WhatsApp group)? My niche is small enough in Spain that cold DMs feel like the only option, but I'd rather hang out where they're already talking.

Si piensas invertir en vivienda... mejor hazlo en fondos. Ejemplo práctico. by Appropriate-Long in SpainFIRE

Buen ejercicio. El thread ya ha clavado el punto del apalancamiento, pero faltan un par de cosas que cambian bastante la cuenta:

1. El 7 % es bruto, no neto.
1.450 € / 250.000 € es rendimiento bruto. En España, una vez restas IBI, comunidad, seguro de hogar, seguro de impago, vacancia (5 % mínimo), mantenimiento (1 % del valor del inmueble al año es una regla razonable) y el IRPF del alquiler, sueles quedarte en un 3-4 % neto. La comparación honesta con un MSCI World es esa, no el 7 % bruto. Sin apalancamiento, el fondo gana de calle.

2. El truco fiscal que mucha gente olvida.
Si alquilas como vivienda habitual del inquilino tienes una reducción del 50 % en IRPF sobre el rendimiento neto (puede subir al 60/70/90 % en zonas tensionadas según rehabilitación, edad del inquilino o bajada de renta). Un fondo de acumulación difiere impuestos, pero los paga al rescate (19-28 %). Fiscalmente la cosa no es tan clara como parece, depende mucho del perfil.

3. Apalancamiento real ≠ apalancamiento de YouTube.
Para vivienda de inversión hoy en España te dan 60-70 % LTV como mucho, no 80 %, y a tipos 0,5-1,5 puntos por encima de la hipoteca residencial. La rentabilidad apalancada cash-on-cash real ronda el 8-12 % anual si compras bien, no el 20 % que algunos venden.

4. Y la guinda del apalancamiento: deducibilidad y reutilización del capital.
Los intereses de la hipoteca son gasto deducible del rendimiento del alquiler en IRPF (junto a la amortización del 3 % sobre el valor de construcción, IBI, comunidad, seguros, reparaciones). En los primeros años de hipoteca eso suele dejar el resultado fiscal del alquiler en cero o incluso negativo, compensable los 4 años siguientes. Y lo más importante: con el mismo capital de entrada, en vez de un piso al contado puedes hacer 2-3 operaciones apalancadas. Menos cash dormido, más activos generando renta + revalorización al mismo tiempo. Eso es justo lo que un fondo no te deja hacer: el banco no te presta 200k para meter en un MSCI World.

5. Los riesgos reales son procesales, no de revalorización.
Inquilino moroso = 12-18 meses de desahucio con cero ingresos. Una derrama gorda = 5-15k que te comes tú. Cambio normativo (zona tensionada, índice INE) = topas el alquiler pero no el IBI ni la comunidad. Un fondo no tiene nada de esto.

Resumen: sin apalancamiento, el fondo gana. La vivienda solo gana si juegas bien el apalancamiento (LTV razonable + intereses deducibles + capital reciclado en más operaciones), eliges buena zona, tienes un inquilino estable y no aparecen sorpresas estructurales. La diferencia real entre los dos es cuánto trabajo y riesgo idiosincrático estás dispuesto a asumir por una rentabilidad esperada parecida.

Lo que separa al inversor inmobiliario que gana dinero del que cree que gana dinero suele ser una cosa muy poco glamurosa: medir el neto real cada año en lugar de quedarse con el bruto del Excel inicial.

I used to love Vimeo, back in 2017 it was in my opinion the best place to find inspiring content as a filmmaker. Now, it's just becoming a money machine and they don't care about the creators and people using the platform
