Property managers and real estate agents should (big emphasis on SHOULD) have referrals for other positions you'll need such as real estate attorneys, insurance agents, contractors, etc.While those two might be the most important to make long distance investing work, finding quality contractors will probably be the most challenging.

They clearly don't put a large emphasis on that aspect, perhaps because it's currently free, but be sure to consider that aspect before you move everything over there and/or consider the long term idea of scaling up.

PM-specific apps will tend to have less emphasis on granular accounting, but personally this hasn't been a problem for me; I want to keep track of more than just finances, especially when there are partners involved.

I served for over 20 years in the Air Force working as a network engineer and communications officer and now serve in the Army National Guard as a signal officer, with emphasis on network security.

@Randall Alan Thank you for your reply,I really appreciate your emphasis on keeping my W2 job, i do make good money here for my age and will make even more once i graduate from college.

I plan to hold longterm and rent by room MTR/LTR, but assuming vacancies and at least 2 rooms occupied, I'll be short $2k-3k most months until rents follow the upward trend of home prices in the area or my monthly decreases.I understand the huge emphasis on the cashflow-focused approach on BP, and that following appreciation is a gamble.

Less emphasis is put on those features that impress a retail buyer who is easily wowed by vanity touches: the coffee islands, the gas fireplace insets, the hot tub in a cramped bathroom that looks good but that chops off the leg room for the toilet.
