Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Nice to meet you.

It’s nice to meet you all, and I’m excited to connect with more people who share similar interests!

You don't want to flip cheap houses so much as you want to buy them cheap in nice areas where you aren't going to have trouble unloading them once the product is finished.

The numbers do seem to work and its a really nice 3/2.

I was thinking about trying to get back to it on the side of my other job but it would be nice to find a partner to help with it. 

Quote from @Jevon Shaw: Cashflowing with no payments would be so nice.

Its REALLY nice to have a 2nd heat source when the main heat source has trouble because sometimes it can take a few days to resolve and with backup heat it is never an emergency!

You left the place nice and clean helped put a new tenant in it, and he doesn't want to give back deposit.

So with all that, I'm thinking to open booking now for next summer with a 7 day minimum, see how it books out, and by late winter/spring I can reduce it to a 3 day min to fill any remaining weekends, and then work on filling mid-week vacancies as summer approaches.We were leaning towards Fri-Fri, but Michael I like your suggestion about the Mon-Mon option, which could be nice because renters would have the weekend to travel and then begin their stay on a Monday, then they would end their stay on an upnote with a long weekend...But with either Fri-Fri or Mon-Mon renters would probably need to take 6 days off work...Sunday-Sunday might actually be better because renters would only need 5 days off.
