Specifically I am having a hard time figuring out the background check and finger printing I need in order to submit my application.

I personally use RevMax software with a live revenue manager. 

I used a software named LandVision/Lightbox that helps me a lot.

They're integrated with our property management software, Innago, so that makes it pretty easy for us to screen our tenants.

In PA this does not go to an overage fund or surplus proceeds fund.. instead.. in an upset sale any amount bid over the minimum starting bid in the Upset Sale will be applied to liens against the property in order of position… since the min bid includes all municipal, back taxes and county liens.. then would it be correct to stated that this extra 10k would go toward the remaining Morgage amount (if applicable) IRS liens, cigarette and sales tax liens etc..? 

I filled out a pre-application form with the Columbia Zoning Department so that I can get a meeting with the committee and discuss my proposal.

New to RE investing , can I claim taxes fees on RE mentor/coaching, including Real-Estate software system package as RE start up Business cost? 

What software should I look into? 

I would expect buy-to-lease strategy is suitable strategy for people without "hardcore" backgrounds in interconnection, permit application, system design and project management.
