Lease Management - Avail.co, Apartments.com, Buildium, TenantCloud,  - many others - they can List For Rent, Schedule Showings, Provide Applications, Screen Tenants, Setup Leases, Setup and Manage Rent Payment, and other things (keep track of maintenance, keep track of expenses and make reports for accountants etc) Tenants like it because its online and makes it clear what they need to do - This also helps answer Drews question to you. - Showing a property - I have less to say on this one, looking for ideas myself.

That would put you between probably $3500-4500 depending on dp, property taxes etc. 85k salary, let’s say you are taking on home 60k, like even with house hacking, you’d simply at best be extremely house poor, at worst would be challenged to afford the mortgage, the vast majority of people buying homes in our area at this point in the cycle for a variety of reason are dual income households, tbh for a single person making 85k a year, you are just much better off renting or moving to locol area if remote or hybrid.

The visionary is full of ideas, has a high level of vision where he or she wants the business to go, maybe sometime loses track of the practical nuts and bolts, and is perhaps not very detailed oriented.The integrator makes it all work.

You will want to look out for a lender that is responsive, straightforward and has a track record of reviews and closings.

Finally, two other things that you can look into or talk with your CPA to see if there could be any advantages to you (you may be phased out due to income for some) is the Section 199A pass-through deduction, which would require you to start tracking hours spent on your real estate enterprise, as well as the possible CA SALT tax workaround in case you were interested in deducting more than the $10k state and local tax cap for the next few years.If you need referrals for professionals in any of these areas in the San Diego area, feel free to reach out. 

@Natalia Davis I believe Zelle and Venmo and such platforms now have to keep track of payments beyond $600.

Hello everyone,I began my real estate investment journey in 2016 while pursuing dual degrees—an MBA and a Master's in Computer Science. 

Cincinnati has multiple locations of Fast Track Auctions ("FTA").

I do t have long term experience with them yet but They have a good track record and seem to really have it together from my experience.

The other option is to form an LLC prior and both go on the loan in terms of dual borrowers so that the land is used from one owner and the assets or cost to build is coming out of the other partners funds.If you do not own a primary home you can build a home with as little as 3.5% down but cannot use an investor for that option.
