I would like to expand a bit and put some systems and processes in place and generally get a little more serious when it comes to the management side.In Brandon Turner's Book- The Book on Managing Rental Properties, in chapter 3 he talks about creating a company policy binder.

The tenant has proof that the rent payment went through successfully and was processed.

You need to be extremely organized and create processes and systems.

;(- if as-is value is less then the balance on the mortgage + arears OOOPS you need to have the owner work with the bank, you as the investor buyer AND a short sales expert often an agent work the tedious and usually failing short sale process. 

I desire to begin investing asap so I started the process of  learning as much as I can by reading and watching videos.

@Dutch Mendenhall Why is RADD making this such a painful process.

If so, does anyone have any referrals to help me with the process?

Hey guys,I'm in the process of going through a divorce and I need assistance in locating a rent to own or owner finance 3 bedroom property.

I’m in the process of getting my real estate salesperson license to gain access to MLS listings as well.
