Most people are lemmings and would rather have the false confirmation that their paycheck will always be there; until it isn't.I have many friends and family who rather have a steady paycheck and keep with the status quo then roll the dice.

I don't know how to run a skip trace and don't know the proper software that people use and in Florida, some people do not take kindly to knocking on doors :)Thank you!

Once i have my permanent financing completed, then I'll confirm that it's gone well =D  I lived in this market for 7 years while I did my schooling(undergraduate and graduate) and have family and friends  (as well as business partners) in the area. 

I've had VA loans where we only have one paycheck prior to closing, and one even where the first paycheck came in right after closing but we otherwise confirmed that work had begun before closing. 

Confirm the current leases and security deposits.3.

For context, I'm currently doing research on property management software, and was hoping to learn more about the challenges that landlords face.

You can look into the BiggerPockets-affiliated software for landlords here in the Tools section.Another option could be a local Realtor who either works a ton of rentals or does a lot of business in North Austin.The software route may still require involvement on your end i.e. setup, communication, document review, etc. 

.**= Again, confirm with your CPA what your specific bill would be.But, for rough math / estimation's sake, it sounds like a "probably" - is that a fair takeaway?

Check out Antoine Martel, he has a software and coaching program called Flip System where they hand hold beginner real estate investors through the turnkey process they have completed over 1000 times.The process is typically stressful, teams on the ground are hard to assemble, there are many simultaneous moving parts, and time and capital invested isn't guaranteed to generate a return.
