Tracking can be done in property management software, a spreadsheet, or even a piece of paper and a pencil, as long as you can account for who's money is in the account.

I am beginning my cold calling to area apartment complexes and I feel that my approach should be much different that approaching a seller to purchase their property. 

My partner and I bought a home in South Florida end of 2021 with the intent of doing a small Reno and then airbnb/vrbo and then blocking out the dates we wanted to use the property.  

Why not just get accurate pricing since its a property you already own? 

I currently have a rental property and am looking at getting my real estate license and building a property management and property maintenance company to serve my investments and potentially others.  

The local property will give you practical management experience.You might do better buying a REIT if you are planning to buy single properties far from home.

Yup, property condition, vintage, neighborhood, tenant base, property management are all very important considerations. 

using this form of financing is a great way to acquire/fix a property but if you are looking to hold long term you would want to find long term financing. 

I bought this property as a brand-new turn-key property in December 2022 (3bed & 2bath-1544 sq-ft).

If you turn any two "bonus rooms" (rec room, office, formal dining room) into two more bedrooms, then you're at $5,950+ per month—a 138% increase in rental income.Now, imagine scaling this across multiple properties while keeping lower upfront costs compared to multifamily properties.
