Technology has enabled communication with a remote CPA through phone calls, emails, skype etc.

I am a newbie and am looking for a form or app I can download that will enable me to analyze a property quickly and consistently each time.

Tenants assume that the water heater, HVAC, etc. all work.Also, knowing the estimated rent, time-to-rent and approximate rehab cost will enable you to make an initial go/no-go decision on the property plus you can determine how much you can offer.

I did hear from an HVAC guy to watch out for the ones that are BLUETOOTH enabled, although they are convenient, apparently in a case where there's a storm and power shuts off, it tends to scramble the Thermostat unit....Account Closed Incredible right....

This could potentially enable you to purchase 2 properties instead of just 1 "next one."

I learned from one of the gurus but I overpaid for the properties (which is what I was taught) in exchange for being able to buy them with little to no money down and doing seller financing.However, doing that proved to be not wise at all.You need to buy a property right and having cash or access to cash enables you to do that.I've since learned from that mistake.

It's enabled me to buy 21 rentals in the last three years, 19 of those in the past 18 months.

Knowing this much enables you to eliminate property management companies with few properties in this area, ones that focus on apartments or commercial properties.

Jobs in industry will enable your to build money capital, help you learn about commercial loans, land, property and builders, and make contacts with the types of people some of the other folks are suggesting you study under.You won't learn much about Landlording in those 9-5s but you'll learn about that on biggerpockets....I haven't used Investor's $. 

I am putting my money where my mouth is and building high density lodging that supports short, medium, and long term stays that is tech enabled, convenient, affordable to the masses, and centrally located in growing markets.
