Bryant, first and foremost Thank you for giving assistance through the ever changing game of Real Estate.  I'm in the process of purchasing my 3rd buy and hold property, with closing "hopefully" taking place at the end of this week.  We have renovations to do once we assume the property, so my question to you is, what accounting measures/tracking should I use during this process?  I'm a user of QuickBooks, but really rusty on the software, however am self educating that tool.  ON my last property I just used Xcel, but didn't feel I tracked my purchases and out of pocket expenses very well.  Please help....

Looks great!! I really like what was done in the kitchen.

David Great post and success story!  As I have read from many of your peers responses, your enthusiasm and drive to success, systems to make your life a little easier may be your best bet for the life you have in the future.  Congratulations is in store for taking the step to financial freedom! 

Awesome!  How did you find the property, if you don't mind sharing?

Steven,

I have an agent that I use that in my belief "gets it", he is very seasoned in SA with investors to include his own purchases. If you'd like his contact info just let me know.

Thanks,

Nathan

Wow!!! What a transformation, Congratulations on such a huge step in your real estate career.

Looks great, good Job!!

Chris, I just finished a rehab that fell into a FHA 203k loan. I did not have to choose contractors from an approved contractors listing, I went out and "shopped" the market if you will and when I decided my choices of contractors my lender approved. It was a very lengthy process, however in the context of your question and a few responses in the thread getting your father in law as a contractor may not be much of a problem. I would highly suggest having a conversation with the lending officer though, before jumping.

Best of luck and hope you get the property!

I've come to a breaking point with my current rental policy holder and am in search of a new Rental Insurance policy for a SF residence in San Antonio, I come to BP for recommendations?  Please Help...

I have a quick question in regards to the opinion of rehabbing my second rental property and have a question regarding a decision of cabinet colors, should I paint them White or Brown?  Reminder it will be a rental property!

Thank you much in advance, I will be able to sleep once I receive opinions from BP Pros
