For the non tech savvy person maybe pay a dev a few hundred bucks to get something up and running for you.For me I looked at doing this with Python, which it looks like is well documented on Google.

I'm surprised I didn't sign up here sooner considering I own a few Bigger Pocket's branded books, but wanted to introduce myself.I'm in my early 30's and have made a career in the tech industry as a systems engineer.

It could be a giant pain to figure how much of that bulk purchase went to each property, especially if they did just 2 units out of 15 at one property, 1 unit out of 20 at another, and then 3 units and a wall of a 4th at a 10 unit property, etc, etc.

It has 2 actual bedrooms and one bath, and a weird upstairs loft area with giant closets.

The professional tenants share this kind of info in some circles, and all they have to do is call with the suspicion that their usage is less than their bill, and they utility will send a tech to inspect all circuits. 

You have a giant mortgage payment on your 500k rental.

I thought an easy turn-key rental was a safe first purchase, and Bossier City where I bought isn't an expensive market and has Barksdale Air Force Base, strong growth and new tech jobs moving in.

So got some time left Seems right - on track for 2020 to 2022 recession, depending on macro (jobs, tariffs, trade wars, wars, winning etc) and local conditions (RE is local - so oversupply, quality of housing stock, employment type and  opportunities in high tech etc)

My Dad was a structural engineering graduate from Virginia Tech with experience as a field supervisor for Ryan Homes.

I taught at New Tech Odessa High School, now it's called George Bush High School, I think.
