I'd love to hear your feedback on success or struggles and anything I should expect.

We've struggled with Quickbooks for the last several years (and before that I literally had a shoe box with receipts in it).

Even the best property management companies (PMC) struggle with:- Finding reliable handyman and contractors (ServiceTechs)- Same with affordable ones- Tracking preventive maintenance- Tracking previous work for potential reoccurrence warranty coverage- Understanding tenant reported problems, so the correct ServiceTech can be dispatched- Determining if tenant is at fault for an issue & should be charged - and will proof stand up in court?

I'm struggling to understand some aspects of your response, but it provides some things to think about.

If the applicant comes from the pool of people that I or my tenants know, I use real estate as a way to give back as many of my tenants will not qualify credit wise or may even have a criminal background or would struggle for another reason if I were to just stick to the "background/credit check" criteria. 

If you are struggling to figure those out, reach out and I can help.

I want to start smart and scale up as I learn the ropes, but I’m personally struggling to narrow down which area to focus on.If you’ve done this before, what advice would you give someone like me?

How many struggle in there bookings, to find way around, ask "what is this corn-dog like thing"..... 

I've asked if there is a resource to finding market rents, but I was struggling to get tenants with a higher rent.

I’ve found myself particularly interested in multifamily properties, but I’m struggling to grasp what exactly defines a “good deal.”When evaluating listings, should I primarily focus on properties that seem undervalued?
