Hi Kevin, I would recommend looking at reviews, online presence, and responsivness .

Why are the strangers already living there more important than the strangers that want to rent the property after it’s already fixed up?

I also use QuickBooks Online for most of my clients.

Get to know people, build relationships, and determine if they are the real deal or a pretender.Asking for investing advice from strangers can be a lot like online dating: 

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.

Now, deed information is on line and easily accessible, and interest rates have risen the last 3 years.  

Hi, Jacob - to create a lease I recommend you use an online service like Avail.co or Rocket Lawyer to draft a state-specific lease.

So I do my networking online.

So we have an online portal for contractors to submit bids and SoW.He said he will submit everything except the license number and never had a lender require it.

The Josh Dorkin/Brandon Turner & early Brandon Turner/David Greene episodes were the best…realistic portfolios held by everyday people and deep dives into 2 or 3 or sometimes more of the properties, that kept me listening.The Josh/Brandon era was definitely top tier, but I think it was also a different time in Real Estate investing and what content was available online about it.
