@William Grantham welcome to the site!

Do you have a site picked out yet? 

Our site is RIDICULOUSLY sensitive to spam.

I found a property on an auction site that I'd like to bid on.

I’ll try and remember to post the location back in this thread, but I’ll definitely make an event here on the BP site once a location has been chosen.

That means that you will need to get those particular ducks in a row before you get rolling.Also, sites like Taskrabbit.com has a lot of folks on there that can help get things put together, setup the spaces etc.

Hi,I have been looking at some of the resources for inspecting properties and estimating costs on this site, and the ones I have seen are detailed spreadsheets and multi-page checklists.

Your property is also listed in multiple sites owned by Zillow, and is free! 

I tried to research the best and most user-friendly PM site that did not charge a fee to maintain a property, being that it was my first one and I was self-managing and not using a PM.
