Hello, I am a software developer and I have a data science friend who we want to team up on making software in the real estate niche.Tell me, as a real estate professional, please dream of your ideal software. what kind of software or software feature do you wish you had or wish that can be improved upon.

Ideally I would want an FHA loan.

Looking to purchase max $800k ideally around 600k

Ideally, we could buy a duplex as our first property, FHA loan, and house-hack. 

For me personally I have new knowledge how to identify the right land to buy at the right price, with a clear understanding of who will be my ideal buyer when I am ready to bring the deal to a partner.

If you were to self-manage one property like this like a hawk then slowly add another and another, ideally down the street from where you live, doing all the maintenance and repairs yourself in order to avoid losing money, then that could make sense. 

The location of the house is ideal for downtown and the universities and hospitals.Originally, the plan was to sell and reinvest the proceeds into a few fix and flips.

If you're a first time home buyer ideally you'd want to take advantage of some of the FTHB community bank mortgages.   

This should, ideally, get more cash flow, and allow you to hire a PM without breaking the bank.

Start interviewing as many property managers as possible and see who is the best fit for your ideal manager.
