And in the interest of experiential value and soliciting financial partners, a couple cash flowing properties and a couple of local flips looks better than a bunch of analysis charts and inaction.

So one can "cut their own hair" and be responsible for the consequences of not looking so good as an alternative to going to a barber and having them cut  hair professionally. 

One thing is to see it in charts another is in person.On my first trip I spend hours driving around and zoned in a neighborhood University area at the time I saw monorail to downtown was being build in that area and knew it would only increase the value of properties.I like being close to major Hospitals/ Universities feel there will always be a demand even during a recession

When you get bigger you can use quick books to create a chart of accounts to manage your bookkeeping.

Thrya,Congrats, let me know if you need any assistance for the accounting aspect.First, put each property in its own LLC and open a bank account for each LLC.You do not need to create an LLC for Property Management, you can, but it's not necessary.You need to make sure you have the proper Chart of Accounts such as Assets, Liability, CapEx, OpEx, G&A Exp, and Equity.Chances are you will be putting the majority of the expenses under CapEx since you're renovating, once it becomes rental, the expenses will be OpEx.
