@Julie Doke: Industry specific software speaks to you and you can easily relate it to your day to day process.

I specialize In helping investors like yourself locate, and secure investment properties and provide a hands off experience along the way.

I'm honored to teach workshops and webinars at REI Accelerator and I've gotten to know the coaches and leaders there and I can say they are absolutely trying to provide value far beyond the cost of the program.REI Accelerator is focused on results, not hype, or emotion, or upselling this seminar or that seminar.

Most MTRs in my area include utilities, but my California property has very high utility costs (PG&E - could easily be $1000/month with regular AC/heat use).

Be sure to check out the free tools BP provides to help analyze deals you may have and also market insights.

A platform that updates their data daily or weekly is covering a staggering cost in order to provide that to the end user.

Usually will work in GA, NC, OH, TX or FL areas.I am always willing to take advice from experienced investors on topics I may be unsure of and I am also able to provide my own perspective on topics I've studied, have been through or just my opinion in general. 

The only other options I can see are A) your mom partnering with you rather then selling the property to you - you become 50% owner and bring the funds and management to the rental while she provides the existing equity as her contribution; or B) your mom lending you the rehab cash out of her personal funds while also seller financing the house to you. 

My accountant was lazy, not well informed and provided bad advice.
